You forgot about only one real alternative for ZFS which is Hammer FS in 
DragonflyBSD plus other new features like swapcache, tmpfs, focus on Single 
System Image in future and so on. OpenSolaris/Solaris are great systems. Oracle 
is just big company where every decision takes years and yes, they don't care 
so much about fans. They are doing all of this because of money and business as 
any other company. In worst case scenario there are alternatives like that 
DragonflyBSD, OpenBSD and so on. But if you own some M9000 or similar then you 
care about your profit and not about ideology so you will use Solaris which is 
well prepared for those machines and you will not fight with eg. Gentoo on it 
;-) Anyway if you have older SPARC machines which are not supported then I can 
really recommend to use OpenBSD on them because of wide support of SPARC 
systems from OpenBSD. Simply there are solutions. Just try to use them.
