We're alive and well, and if you have changes you'd like to make
you're welcome to bring it to illumos!

In the limit, our plan is to re-port the OpenZFS repository to illumos
and eventually replace our in-gate copy with a tested release of
OpenZFS and then update as new releases come out.  That's obviously a
lot of work, so I don't have any particular insight to who is going to
do it or in what time frame it will be ready.  In the interim folks
have continued to port patches from OpenZFS to illumos and we continue
to fix bugs and make improvements on our end.

Cheers.
