Actually, b59 will have the ZFS bug fix in.

Unfortunately, the only two methods we currently provide are the
entire OS image, and the source code which you build yourself and
install. The source code drop containing 7.2 is still being
fixed so that it can be built correctly (since it's a subset of the
entire tree, we need to make sure the subset builds by itself, which
has taken some work to get right again with the new modular tree layout).
We're looking into what paperwork we need to get legal approval to
post prebuilt packages in the future, but SXCE build 59 will probably
be here first.
