Only minor issue I see is that a zfs send is single threaded, so you cant parralellize it over multiple processes easily.

Well, a multithreaded filesystem is only a performance hack anyway. :-)

If you want to talk to Reiser, visiting hours are 9AM-5PM on weekends.

it isn't a filesystem for the masses.

Huh? Music, movies, Office, and porn. And lots of web browsing (goes with the porn).

Do I want ZFS or not?

Based on your limited experience with this filesystem, would you say that it would make sense to port the source code to Solaris? I'm sure there's a lot of Sun users who could use a shot in the arm like this right about now.

Nothing short of a complete redesign could have rescued WinFS. The design as it was was flawed from nearly the beginning.

It's a windows family tradition.
