I'm happy to help you test out 3.4. A lot has changed with it, and much of
it affects the use cases you described, specifically libgfapi, the QEMU
integration, Nova integration, and the block device translator.

Our dev process is now also much cleaner and inclusive - you can see the
results of our recent 3.5 feature decisions here:

Incidentally, you seem to be allergic to qcow2 files :)  We have some
performance numbers that may be eye-opening to you (and many others).

As Jeff mentioned in his response, there are many benefits from a unified
storage backend with file semantics that doesn't silo your data. Let me
know if I can be of any help.
