As I thought about it, though, I realized these +remain largely the same as they always have been: provide durable, scalable +storage for diverse use-cases without the need for specialized hardware and in +a way that allows both users and operators to be successful. In short, we will +continue to deliver the best object storage we can. + +The exact details of how we do that may vary somewhat from cycle to cycle. The +last six months we've seen a lot of polishing of operational features, notably +container sharding and shrinking, part power increases, and error detection. +We'll likely continue working in these areas, and expand into larger +replication improvements. + +I'll do what I can to help, both directly (by improving Swift) and indirectly +(by, for example, fixing broken gate jobs and flaky tests).
