No doubt.
FTR I'm not looking to impede you. :-)
My only concern would be that I'd need to remaster the art of ZFS. I've
got 1500 installs to maintain, and any changes tend to alarm me. :-)
I see we're a bit behind the others, if this status report is current:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CFapSYxA5QRFYy5k6ge3FutU7zbAWbaeGN2nKVXgxCI/edit#gid=0
Will your impending commit move us closer? Is there anything others
like myself can do to help?

Thanks again, Matthew.
