Hardware support aside, the most important question should be about ZFS.
If Oracle does not make the latest ZFS code available, will the ZFS we
already have be able to match the "other" ZFS, if it comes to that?

File system encryption in the latest ZFS is a killer feature, in my opinion.
Is any person or group able to step up and implement features like that in
illumos' ZFS if Oracle balks?
