Yes, I imagine that the standards-conformance issues are somewhat 
complicated, or the open bugs would have been addressed by now.

Given that we know we will want to increase, not decrease, the use of 
ZFS in the future, how can we come to a resolution on the existing POSIX 
issues? I doubt that either PSARC or the ON C-team is a good forum for that.
