Why are we not doing that here?
This kind of refactor takes time, a lot of time. I think I worked on the merge of primary storage refactor into master and bug fixes during March(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.cloudstack.devel/14469), then started to work on the secondary storage refactor in April(http://markmail.org/message/cspb6xweeupfvpit). Min and I finished the coding at end of April, then tested for two weeks, send out the merge request at middle of May. With the refactor, the storage code will be much cleaner, and the performance of S3 will be improved, and integration with other storage vendor will be much easier, and the quality is ok(33 bugs fired, only 5 left: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22Object_Store_Refactor%22). Anyway, it's up to the community to decide, merge it or not, we already tried our best to get it done ASAP.
