Frankly, it may be a couple of years before Oracle even decides what it
will do with ZFS in the long run.  I have not started using it to any
substantial degree and, considering the change in ownership, I'm unlikely
to start using it if I do not have an immediate, specific use-case that
calls for the capabilities of ZFS in particular.

=2E . . on top of which, I don't feel a need to do Oracle any favors.  Your
mileage may vary, of course.
