[OpenIndiana-discuss] And OpenZFS vs ZFS

[Till Wegmueller]

Just to chime in with some Background details about OpenZFS 2 and "our" 
ZFS. Originally OpenZFS was a fork of the illumos-gate repo then after 
all OS bits other than ZFS got removed (sans the compatibility layer). 
Some time ago the FreeBSD devs mustered the Workforce to fold their 
changes into ZOL and thus the Repo became OpenZFS. Now with 2.0 and our 
porting work ongoing illumos is also preparing to fold ZFS into OpenZFS, 
unless for the FreeBSD people that move ends up being bad.

In short: In the long term there will be only one OpenZFS and we will 
participate, until then we are porting all things over and preparing the 
work for the illumos repos. Which is quite a lot of organisation.
