Is that a property of the D community being younger (the community itself, rather than the people in the community) and smaller than C and C++ communities. Or is it something more culture based. Any ideas?

I'm guessing that was a design goal from day one? How hard has been to maintain that goal, as any slip up will become just as hard to fix as in C, right?

Device removal was added in the recent ZoL 0.8 release, so with that you can remove a vdev that is either a sole drive, or a mirror. Currently it can't be used to remove a RAIDZx vdev thou. It does carry a memory overhead for a remap t

Except only recently we have seen an instance of access to an API being removed that has broken the build of ZoL, while this one is at worst case a performance regression it does show that the mainline kernel is very much able to breaking Z

This was a common approach at my Uni. I only once challenged it, but the issue was an entire question wasn't marked at all, so the lecturer didn't remark the rest. One other time, I asked the lecturer (different paper) where I wen
