I think the author has a valid point ;)
I probably should have written zpools instead of ZFS in that sentence. It is
same as always with different pool version and features, but in this case we
don't now if they will be implemented and implemented in the same way outside
of Oracle after zpool version 28 since we do not have the source and Oracle
does't want to play with us.
