I'd recommend the monthly leadership meetings. They dispelled any doubt
that I had that there were overly powerful factions present that would
disadvantage FreeBSD. The calls were worthwhile to understand the context
of a number of other things being discussed. It seems much healthier in
this context than things I've seen in the Illumos context because of a lack
of burdensome process that provided no benefit and actually got in the way
(which honestly, was my expectations going into the meeting).

There's good reason to trust OpenZFS, it's leadership and decision making
process. If ZoL is the best upstream source, then I trust their judgement
on that, regardless of the hassles it will cause us in the coming months.
