Timing is indeed everything - and it's the reason we didn't have ZFS support until now. The Explorer team has been following ZFS for over 2 years (CR 5074463 to add support was created 17 July 2004!), but made the decision long ago that we would wait until we were sure exactly what we should be doing in Explorer before we actually added the relevant support. As it turned out, this was a good thing - I don't think there's a single command that was originally listed in the CR that still exists due to the changes that occured as ZFS matured to the point of release. Explorer 5.5 is the first release since Solaris 10 6/06, and thus the one we ended up adding ZFS support into. It also has a few other new features, including the ability to automatically transfer an Explorer to Sun over HTTPS.
