We, the users of FreeBSD, *do hereby challenge* the FreeBSD project to meet its future release dates. Why: Because the FreeBSD project has not met a significant number of its release dates. It's an apalling state of affairs and makes you, the project, look silly. Business and personal users plan

Certainly with computers that never have hardware faults and assuming ZFS doesn't have any software bugs you may be right. That was part of their assumption. It's based on server grade hardware and ECC RAM, and lots of redundancy. They missed the part about their code not being perfect.
