Focussing on solely ZFS is rather missing jcranmer's point, though, which wasn't about ZFS but was about the level of innovation generally surrounding FreeBSD.

Focussing on solely ZFS is rather missing jcranmer's point, though, which wasn't about ZFS but was about the level of innovation generally surrounding FreeBSD. As such, where ZFS development lives is not as relevant as where the next such project will arise, and whether it is possible that it will be on FreeBSD.
