See slide 13 (titled "OpenZFS Code Flow (2020)" from the 2019 OpenZFS DevSummit keynote <https://drive.google.com/file/d/197jS8_MWtfdW2LyvIFnH58uUasHuNszz/view> for what I'm referring to. I think I see your point: FreeBSD's ZFS implementation isn't downstream of OpenZFS, it *is *OpenZFS. Illumos' implementation, however, is downstream thereof. Or at least that's how I interpret that diagram. That said, I have noticed the absence of any Illumos mention in the 2020 Summit keynote <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1BiQLUL7gPabTPvLciLMIOTXiPvWgWKCen57LmJT5tgc/edit?usp=sharing>, so there's that. FWIW I strongly agree with you and Alan's take on the "all bugs fixed" concept. > > Bob > -- > Bob Friesenhahn > bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ > GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ > Public Key, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/public-key.txt > > _______________________________________________ > openindiana-discuss mailing list > openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org > https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss > _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
