Not at all - each of these are simply consuming the ON
component as found on OS.o - they have not (yet) forked
off their own.
(Nexenta may be an exception - they are doing their own thing
independently of the OS.o community, even though the people are
involved both here and there)
The failure mode I see is Ben's "I want to hack up my own version
of ZFS, independent from the ZFS community, and distribute it
as an alternative to that done by the ZFS community".
The danger isn't the "I want to hack", but the "I want to do
it without being part of the community". If you are not going
to be part of the community, why should the community cater
to you?
(I'm in an all day meeting and won't be able to respond
much more today... Sorry)
