Yes, there is quite often a time delay between kernel releases and OpenZFS 
releases that contain compatibility patches. However, in my experience, the 
OpenZFS developers are aware of this and act rather quickly. I believe that if 
a project like Fedora were to switch to ZFS, this would not be an issue at all 
- ZFS compatibility patches are usually available early on during the kernel 
development cycle, the delay is mostly due to the lack of testing and review.

Would you care to elaborate why a rolling release kernel is not hit by any 
legal problems? I fail to see how that is relevant here, but then again, I am 
certainly not a lawyer and my understanding of the legal implications is 
rudimentary at best.
