sheepdog-ng is a forked project of sheepdog. I don't know the detail
of the project. AFAIK, they seem to use zookeeper as a metadata
server. It means the system cannot preserve symmetry role of servers.

Our management team is unconfortable with their similar name and hope
them change it. However, our company doesn't have a trademark of
sheepdog in China. Therefore they don't take a legal action.

Thanks,
Hitoshi
