Shouldn't also the 'gluster' enum entry of 'BlockdevDriver' (qapi/block-core.json) be marked as deprecated?

Feel free to add my Acked-by or equivalent signoff.

According to https://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=171934833215726 the GlusterFS development effectively ended. Thus mark it as deprecated in QEMU, so we can remove it in a future release if the project does not gain momentum again.
