I don't think a tag will be particularly helpful. In your example you list "Ubuntu16" and "Debian9" as being two different things, though they both use the Linux kernel and ZOL. In illumos, things are pretty much the same: it's the _core_ of an operating system, but the distribution selects which revision of that core (which includes the kernel and ZFS) to ship. Users consume distributions. I think for illumos we would say something like: features are reasonably expected to be available for "portable" use in all distributions when they've been in the upstream illumos-gate repository for a certain length of time; e.g., 2 years?
