Are we living in the past?

In the bad old days, UNIX systems spoke NFS and Windows systems spoke
CIFS. The cost of creating a file system was expensive -- slices, partitions, 
etc.

With ZFS, file systems (datasets) are relatively inexpensive.

So, are we putting too many constraints into a system (ZFS) which is busy
trying to remove constraints?  Is it reasonable to expect that ZPL is the only
kind of "file system" ZFS customers need?  Is it high time for a ZCIFS dataset?
