Indeed, but we are just end consumers of RHEL's release cycles. In large commercial environment (banking in this case) we are bound to use the supported versions from commercial vendors by law.
My scenario is simple - lots of very stable zfs 0.7.7 running on RHEL 7.4. We saw the 0.7.7 media reports of the bug and upgraded to 0.7.8 in fear of a catastrophe - but all hell broke loose after upgrading. Downgraded to 0.7.7 but got the new 7.5 RHEL kernel and still everything is a mess. Rebuilt some test systems with RHEL release 7.5 and 0.7.7 and still cannot even list a mount point of a brand new zpool without even creating any files on it.
Now we are seriously worried. Can't go back to 0.7.6 easily and any way zfs 0.7.6 modules don't load into RHEL 7.5 release - not compatible. We may have to go back to RHEL 7.4 and 0.7.7 which is still stable on many systems.
You guys are all heroes for your phenomenal work. Please keep to going...
