Clarification on glusterfs plugin removal in k8s 1.26

[Michelle Au]

Hi everyone,

We announced deprecation of the gluster in-tree volume plugin in Kubernetes 1.25 and removed support for the plugin in 1.26. Unfortunately the release notes for both the deprecation and removal were not categorized properly under the "deprecations" and "urgent upgrade notes" sections respectively, and therefore very easy to miss. The release notes have since been corrected and we are sending out this notice to the community as a FYI. 

If you are using the glusterfs intree volume type today, we recommend delaying upgrades to 1.26 until you are able to move to an alternate solution.

If you have any further questions, please reach out to sig-storage on Slack or in one of our future meetings.

Thanks,

Michelle on behalf of sig-storage
