ZFS needs an on disk dataformat and Sun did not create a framework that allows 
to have vendor specific enhancements and that supports a distributed 
development.

Did someone think about a format (e.g. similar to the POSIX.1-2001 tar 
extensions) that would allow to implement vendor unique extensions and that 
would allow to ignore some features wile implementing others?
