I suspect the idea is to contribute the FreeBSD bits back to ZoL.

My question is, how much of a base does ZoL really have? The enterprise pla=
yers with any significant market share won't touch it -- Ubuntu has but IMO=
 they're a niche player (who has violated GPL by including CDDL in their ke=
rnel.

The next step should be throwing up a wiki page with a features todo list. =
Also, this is a large enough project to have its own project branch, with t=
he goal of having it in head before 13 goes GA. I also think people will no=
t accept regressions or other POLA violations.

+1.  I'm also worried if this would bring more Linuxish bits into our
kernel (cf. LinuxKPI).  Also, I thought that ZFS was never really native
to Linux but implemented through SPL (Solaris Porting Layer), and Linux'
VFS is not ARC-aware unlike Solaris and FreeBSD.

It would be quite upsetting to see ZFS as we know it in FreeBSD become
pessimized because of those things. :-(
