And for SDXC, ZFS will probably never be the filesystem of choice. 
Removable media of this type is mostly used in portable electronic 
devices, such as cameras, cellphones, etc. All of which are power, CPU, 
and memory limited. ZFS, while a marvelous filesystem, is incredibly RAM 
hungry. I suspect it's CPU profile is also non-trivial for a restricted 
performance device.

Now it _might_ be possible for some of these characteristics to be 
changed with a code re-write targeting small devices, and probably a 
feature-limited zpool/zfs version number, but the effort would be 
non-trivial.
