Well, at first ZFS development is no standard body and at the end
everything has to be measured in compatibility to the Oracle ZFS
implementation. However there is surely a bad aftertaste of such a
policy. Someone can't complain about Oracles position to opensource and
put the development of ZFS themself into a secret circle. But as i wrote
a long time ago, a lot of things were done because of business
considerations, not because of "open source is great".

You are welcome to your beliefs. There are many groups that do standards that
do not meet in public. In fact, I can't think of any standards bodies that
*do* hold open meetings.

Whatever your proposal was, we have not seen it, but a solution has been agreed
upon widely already, and implementation should be starting on it. Ultimately
this solution is based on people with a huge amount of experience in ZFS, and
with an eye towards future ZFS features.
I tend to believe that a group that acts in the secret does not exist.
Standardization nowerdays typically is done in the public.
