Even so, I certainly hope that btrfs end up at least as reliable and
feature-complete as ZFS, if ZFS itself cannot be merged into Linux.
That's a big ask, but now that ZFS' IP has been imported into Oracle,
perhaps a lot of patent and copyright issues can be smoothed over,
giving btrfs a huge advantage relative to what it had before the
acquisition.
