ZFS is cool because it is very clean, nicely documented, and is very simple for the user. It would be quite wrong for Sun to diverge from this. There are many other things that Sun should focus on before worrying about content management. It would be useful if ZFS helped make using the "SAN" as easy as it makes using a collection of already accessible disks. ZFS is pretty, but it is layered on top of some very ugly looking things (e.g. "multipath" is super-ugly), so lets attend to those ugly things before worrying about adding frosting on top.
