"Yet" is key. You can't say the RPi is the most open platform if it's predicated on some future condition. That said, I shouldn't be so critical. The state of free graphics drivers on ARM SBCs is pretty abysmal an

Traditional filesystems will let files just sit on the hard drive, untouched. ZFS is a lot more active... checksumming and caching mean that important information is spending time in RAM. It's not good if that information gets corrupte
