I don't think "superseded" is the word you were looking for.  FreeBSD
supports more feature flags:

  http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Feature_Flags

ZFS on Linux will apparently go out and modify Samba's smb.conf for
sharesmb functionality.  If this seems to be an acceptable approach,
I'll bet the code that does it wouldn't be too hard to port over or
reinvent.
