Gluster users - Jul 2019 - Recommended gluster stable version

Hi list,
I have a question about recommended gluster stable version for using to 
host virtual disk images.

 From my understanding, current RHGS uses the latest 3.x gluster branch. 
This is also the same version provided by default in RHEL/CentOS;

[root at localhost ~]# yum info glusterfs.x86_64
...
Name        : glusterfs
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 3.12.2
Release     : 18.el7
Size        : 542 k
Repo        : base/7/x86_64
...

At the same time, CentOS SIG enables version 4.0, 4.1, 5.x and 6.x. 
Discarding the 4.0 version (a short term stable release), what gluster 
version should be used for maximum reliability and supportability, even 
in the face of some features missing?

Thanks.

That's true, but the glusterfs-3.12.x packages are still available on the
CentOS mirrors.

I'm not sure why the centos-release-gluster312 package has been removed
from the mirrors, but you can still get it from
https://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=6530

It seems odd to me that centos-release-gluster312 would have been removed
when RHEL is still shipping ? for a little while longer anyway ?
glusterfs-3.12 (client side) packages.
