No, he's not asking them to predict the future. Don't be a dick. He's asking if they can share some of their intentions based on their current internal roadmap. If you're telling me Sun doesn't have a 1yr/2yr/3yr roadmap for ZFS I'd say we're all in some serious trouble. "We make it up as we go along" does NOT invoke the least bit of confidence, and I HIGHLY doubt that's how they're operating.
ZFS is principally already developed. It is now undergoing feature improvement, performance, and stability updates. Perhaps entries in the OpenSolaris bug tracking system may reveal what is requested to be worked on.
In the current economy, I think that "We make it up as we go along" is indeed the best plan. That is what most of us are doing now. Multi-year roadmaps are continually being erased and restarted due to changes (reductions) in staff, funding, and customer base. Yes, most of us are in some serious trouble and if you are not, then you are somehow blessed.
