There are more people outside of Oracle developing for ZFS than

This has been true for some time now.
Pardon my skepticism, but where is the proof of this claim (I'm
quite certain you know I mean no disrespect)? Solaris11 Express was
a massive leap in functionality and bugfixes to ZFS. I've seen
exactly nothing out of "outside of Oracle" in the time since it went
closed. We used to see updates bi-weekly out of Sun. Nexenta
spending hundreds of man-hours on a GUI and userland apps isn't work
on ZFS.
Exactly my observation as well. I haven't seen any ZFS related
development happening at Ilumos or Nexenta, at least not yet.
I am quite sure you understand how pipelines work :-)

I'm getting pretty close to my pain threshold on the BP_rewrite stuff,
since not having that feature's holding up a big chunk of work I'd like
to push.
If anyone outside of Oracle is working on some sort of change to ZFS
that will allow arbitrary movement/placement of pre-written slabs, can
they please contact me? I'm pretty much at the point where I'm going to
start diving into that chunk of the source to see if there's something
little old me can do, and I'd far rather help on someone else's
implementation than have to do it myself from scratch.
I'd prefer a private contact, as I realize that such work may not be
ready for public discussion yet.
Thanks, folks!
Oh, and this is completely just me, not Oracle talking in any way.
