Anyway, we've already had a fairly conclusive ZFS answer. It can't be
integrated into base OpenBSD because the license is incompatible. The
license is
unlikely to change. Implementing it from the specifications has licence
issues, is hard and bug prone.
A kernel module can use the code - all it needs is someone to volunteer
(sorry, not me : not interested). There's then nothing stopping someone
creating
a minor OpenBSD fork with the integrated module ZFS support, if they
need it from installation time that badly.
