One reason to include Ceph on the host directly is that eventually I think
it would make sense to use Ceph for Docker images - unpack them
on a central storage server, then `docker pull` is basically
`mount storagehost:/path/to/containerid`.

I think I saw a prototype patch for this in the past. 

One downside is that any host with access to the cluster could read
all images, but I think for most organizations that'd be fine.
