Uwe, I think you are assuming that zfs is cast in stone; features are added to ZFS almost on a weekly basis.
If there is demand for a certain feature then at some point resources may be made available. What form would you want file versioning to take? I immensely disliked VMS ";X" notation for files. I'm not sure how this worked (was it transactional and did files only appear as "file;N+1" after they had been completely written and closed? How would such snapshots appear and where? (Again, I disliked the "file;X" notation and the fact that a manual purge was required).
