It's Ok to ignore this problem if Indiana only targets single-user
installations which never want to share their filesystems via network
and/or other users[1] - but with more than one user and/or shared
filesystems/directories you'll quickly end-up in situations where quotas
become usefull or mandatory (unless you trust all users that they don't
fill-up the filesystem by accident, intentional or by downloading the
lasted Simpsons episode...).

I've seen that entry and I am monitoring the changes/improvements since
some time... but the general setup with the ZFS _defaults_ didn't change
much (the last time I tested the difference it was almost 40min (!!)
build time difference, e.g. building OS/Net B37 on a NFS+UFS vs. NFS+ZFS
filesystem on two Ultra5 with maxed-out memory on both NFS
client&&server...).

[1]=Yes, yes, I am trying to be slightly sarcastic in this case... :-)
