OpenSolaris is gone, Oracle won't make any OpenSolaris release but they're still working on Solaris (and maybe ZFS). But did they close the sources too ? I mean, they have a VCS, can we still access it and download the ZFS source files ? Did they also relicense them ? As for btrfs, don't forget it's GPL, and still not production-ready. ZFS has a proven reliability, if Oracle drops it because they have btrfs, I'll be very angry... > We're not going to drop ZFS because Oracle's plans are unclear.
