It would be good to have it in 8.0 (since it is definitely required to boot from ZFS pools with non-trivial sizes), and does not affect anybody not trying to boot this way. OTOH, it since you cannot just install FreeBSD on pure ZFS from sysinstall, it might be sufficient to prominently warn about this problem and point at the required patch, to prevent foot-shooting. But having this patch that has been successfully tested by a number of people that suffered from the GPT/ZFS boot problem looks highly preferable to me ... Regards, STefan
