My 2c is that I'd much rather NetBSD cherry-pick important fixes from illumos's branch of ZFS. OpenZFS is far too fast moving for a OS like ours, and I've even had stability problems using it on FreeBSD in the past few years. We already have problems keeping DRM/KMS working stable with reimports every few years from a complex kernel. As for file checksums, do you know about veriexec?
