Update ZFS "todo" to say it's being done. Perhaps there is more than people
 can help pjd with here, but they need to contact him first.  We need to
 decide if this item should still be on the TODO list.

See my comments to the commit of joel. I really like the zombie-entries idea for the list, but if nobody else likes it too I don't try to push it further now.

BTW, I followed up with Pawel on this one to ask about whether there were any obvious project tasks to be done on ZFS, and the answer was no.

A general point: in a a few weeks, we're going to have hundreds of students looking at the ideas page looking for concrete project ideas to propose for summer of code. We should avoid putting things on the ideas page if we don't want them done. We should make it clear for each item that we think is worth exploring but aren't sure will be committed that this is the case. This will avoid unhappiness later when we say "Yeah, it was on the ideas list, but really, we don't want that". I'm fine with having high level categories of ideas with contacts, rather than having every idea there be specific and concrete, but let's be very careful not to ask for things we don't want.
