I hope there will be consideration given to providing compatibility with UFS 
quotas
(except that inode limits would be ignored).  At least to the point of having

edquota(1m)
quot(1m)
quota(1m)
quotactl(7i)
repquota(1m)
rquotad(1m)

and possibly quotactl(7i) work with zfs (with the exception previously 
mentioned).
OTOH, quotaon(1m)/quotaoff(1m)/quotacheck(1m) may not be needed for support of
per-user quotas in zfs (since it will presumably have its own ways of enabling 
these, and
will simply never mess up?)

None of which need preclude new interfaces with greater functionality (like both
user and group quotas), but where there is similar functionality, IMO it would 
be
easier for a lot of folks if quota maintenance (esp. edquota and reporting) 
could
be done the same way for ufs and zfs.
