As I have no clue what Ceph is and how their releases work, to make this
acceptable you'll have to elaborate on why a new upstream release
complies with our freeze policy. Please look at the questions in our FAQ
[1], section "I want to add a new upstream release, is that possible?"
We don't *just* accept new upstreams for "other large software", we
still need to judge somehow (even more so if we can't reasonably do that
by manual inspection of the diff) that that's appropriate.

That URL gives a 404. Please attach it to this bug for future reference
(yes, it may not make it to the list, but then the bts has it).
