OpenSolaris is gone, Oracle won't make any OpenSolaris release but
they're still working on Solaris (and maybe ZFS).

But did they close the sources too ? I mean, they have a VCS, can we
still access it and download the ZFS source files ? Did they also
relicense them ?
As for btrfs, don't forget it's GPL, and still not production-ready.
ZFS has a proven reliability, if Oracle drops it because they have
btrfs, I'll be very angry...
