I challenge that statement.
The changelog for keepalived documents the original release as
2000-12-22, Release 0.2.1. As oposed to the first entry in
the linux-ha changelog, Sat Mar 27 1999, Version 0.2.0.
And as for the number of users, if you have some numbers
then I would like to see them.
The fact is that both tools are useful in this case.
Both tools can work with LVS. Both tools have a wide install base.
Both tools have been around for about the same length of time.
And both tools can do some (other) things that the other can't,
because they have a different development focus.
