If FreeBSD and illumos go along, it will be much more difficult to implement these version. New patches can conflict and so on. Or is it time to say goodby to the oracle stream of ZFS and go our own way and never look back, even if oracle releases new versions. To bad oracle chooses this path. regards Johan Hendriks
