Dmitri > now that ZFS' IP has been imported into Oracle
You write as though this is a completed task. In reality, there are several hurdles (as seen from the IBM offer), and it will take at least six months to get to the point that you assume has been complete. To EFFECTIVELY merge the IP will probably take a few years. As with the IBM offer, the Oracle offer isn't done, and could fail. At this point, Chris is correct in choosing to move forward with BTRFS. As for what happens when/if Oracle buys Sun, that's best decided AFTER it happens.
