raidz boot support in grub 2 is pretty high on my list to be honest..
Which brings up another question of where is the raidz stuff mostly?
usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/vdev_raidz.c ?
Any high level summary, docs or blog entries of what the process
would look like for a raidz boot support is also appreciated.
Given the threads that have appeared on this list lately, how about
codifying / standardizing the output of "zfs send" so that it can be
backed up to tape? :)
It wouldn't help. zfs send is a data stream which contains parts of
files,
not files (in the usual sense), so there is no real way to take a send
stream and extract a file, other than by doing a receive.
At the risk of repeating the Best Practices Guide (again):
The zfs send and receive commands do not provide an enterprise-level
backup solution.

Along these lines you can envision a restore tool that is capable of
reading multiple 'zfs send' streams to construct the various versions of
files which are available. In addition, it would be nice if the tool
could read in the streams and then make it easy to traverse and
construct a single file from all available streams. For example, if I
have 5 send streams then the tool would be able to ingest all the data
and provide a directory structure similar to .zfs which would allow you
to restore any file which is completely intact.
