Oh yes, this is a pretty big technical issue - the new code will need to 
mature before it becomes usable in "production" environments. There will 
likely be bug and mis-interpretations at first, wreaking all kinds of havoc.

I think you meant "user space programs are NOT derivations of the kernel" :)

Yes, I know about this implementation. From what I hear, the FUSE 
implementation is pretty slow and doesn't make it possible to switch to 
ZFS entirely (i.e. you won't be able to boot into Linux off ZFS).
