So all we need to direct some of the money we already spend for supporting developers and certain developments to core ZFS developers no longer employed by Sun/Oracle and that way make FreeBSD the primary ZFS development platform for the future. If you have the key developers, the community will follow. Before someone starts argueing... I know, it's not that easy and I don't have a clue how one would do that. This is most probably more like a crazy idea than a plan that could actually work :-/ - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller http://sysadm.in/ ob@sysadm.in | | Ich bin das Internet.
