Fascinating; I would have said that was the #1 most bitched about feature not yet in ZFS. But that's for people building home NAS setups or small-office NAS, not big commercial customers, so it's probably not what gets into your formal channels, and it may not be what's actually important to Sun to get working. The fact that the competition doesn't have it either probably helps :-).
