0.41 is not a LTS release and I don't intend for the MRE to cover Ceph
prior to 12.10 for this reason as we would just backport fixes as
required for the version in 12.04.

For information the Ubuntu Cloud Archive provides more recent versions
of Ceph on 12.04 alongside OpenStack releases.

Correct - see my note above re backports via Ubuntu Cloud Archive.

Great - thanks!
