First of all we would like to mention that the ugly side in this thread was totally not intended. >From the options you gave, (c) would be a waste of time.
The original intention of this thread was to politely check with Mahout community, if it would consider another programming model than Map-Reduce to implement machine learning algorithms. My previous mail was to check if there is any specific feature set (e.g. fault-tolerance, proven scalability, etc.) that is required before Mahout community would consider a new model. But, we do understand now that adoption of a new model could be based on popularity of the system among ML programmers which in turn builds a strong community for that project.
