If you look past the attention-grabbing headline, this shows some pretty cool stuff with ZFS, using source versioning as an analogy to explain what would otherwise be quite abstract when it comes to filesystems. The only thing I knew about ZFS was the name, this helped me see some of its impressive features.
Of course, I'll take reliability & stability over fancy features any day, but I'm glad there's active development in this area, and look forward to seeing these features mature. They could contribute to some interesting simplifications.

They could contribute to some interesting simplifications. ZFS is in use in production systems all over the world, with a very good reputation for reliability and stability. Nexenta and others have made successful businesses working with large enterprise customers selling ZFS based storage solutions.
