I don't think this is a good idea; the emperor release we have in archive right now is a stable release but is not schedule for long term focus from upstream.
2) get to firefly in a sane way
I think this is a better approach; interim releases are generally pretty good from Ceph so moving forward during the dev cycle feels like the right thing todo so that the step to firefly either as a zero-day SRU or as a normal SRU won't be so great.
We would need to detail this in the release notes so that the ceph position is clear for 14.04 early adopters.
Note that we already have a MRE for minor releases - this is outside the scope of that.
1) stick with current version
