I'd really like to see this feature. You say ZFS should change our view
on filesystems, I say be consequent.

In ZFS world we create one big pool out of all our disks and create
filesystems on top of it. This way we don't have to care about resizing
them, etc. But this way we define redundancy at pool level for all our
filesystems.

It is quite common that we have data we don't really care about as well
as data we do care about a lot in the same pool. Before ZFS, I'd just
create RAID0 for the former and RAID1 for the latter, but this is not
the ZFS way, right?

My question is how can I express my intent of defining redundancy level
based of the importance of my data, but still following the ZFS way
without 'copies' feature?

Please reconsider your choice.
