Thanks for the heads-up on the gossip.
This etiquette seems weird, though: I don't thank Microsoft for
releasing a new version of Word. I'll postpone my thanks for 2 years
until the source is released, though by then who knows if I'll still
be using ZFS at all.
Maybe more appropriate would be: congrats on finally finishing your
seven-year project, Darren! must be a huge relief.
I'm glad it wasn't my project, though. If I were in Darren's place
I'd have signed on to work for an open-source company, spent seven
years of my life working on something, delaying it and pushing hard to
make it a generation beyond other filesystem crypto, and then when I'm
finally done, <yoink!>.
That's me, though. I shouldn't speculate on someone else's situation.
Maybe he signed on under different circumstances, or delayed for
different reasons than feature-ambition, or cares about different
things than I do. I only mean to make an example of how politics,
featuresets, and IT planning interact to make an ecosystem that's got
more complicated implications than just a bulleted list of features
and a license with an OSI logo.
