As someone who has zero insider information and feels that there isn''t much push at oracle to develop or release new zfs features, I have to assume it''s not coming. The only way I see it becoming a reality is if someone in the illumos community decides to do the work required to put it in.

ZFS is very much in active feature, bugfix and performance improvement at Oracle for current and future versions of Solaris and the ZFS Storage Appliance. BP rewrite is actually very complex to do correctly and safely - it it wasn''t I''m sure it would have been done by now by multiple people! -- Darren J Moffat

As for the community involvement: we welcome everybody at Illumos. It''s of course impossible to do predictions of future feature progress, but we have our own stuff in the works and unlike the opensolaris.org website (don''t know about the mailing lists), we won''t plan on winding down by the end of next month. If the fine people at Oracle keep a good pace, it''s possible you''ll see a steady stream of improvements from them as well (though I personally suspect that they''ll hand you the improvements in one hand and a hefty invoice in the other).
