The zfs encryption code missed the window. Unless Oracle decides to make another code dump, any future activity is likely associated with the Illumos project (https://www.illumos.org/). I do know that key FreeBSD zfs maintainers collaborate with counterparts on the Illumos project to get zfs bugs fixed. I do see this forum entry: https://www.illumos.org/boards/1/topics/256 The main reason to expect/hope that Oracle will make more code dumps is that they have continued to maintain the many services associated with the OpenSolaris project.
