Ggated serves different purpose actually, so it will stay. In lack of
HAST, people started to use ggate+gmirror to get similar functionality,
but they don't have to do that anymore. Ggatec/ggated functionality is
much similar to iSCSI, so if something will make ggatec/ggated to go
away, it will be iSCSI. I've some really evil performance improvements
plans for HAST and ggatec will benefit as well.
