I was afraid someone would say that - unfortunately, until ZFS is fitted with 
all of the bells and whistles that the combination of VxVM/VxFS has - true 
sync/async replication with data ordering, intimate integration of snapshots 
with NetBackup, and so on, we'll continue running VxVM/VxFS on our couple 
thousand Solaris systems.  Just pragmatic...

I wonder who, or which group at Symantec would be a good contact point for such 
an effort...

Thanks for explaining the issue clearly.
