Sure.

The goal for S10 U2 is to make ZFS boot possible for intrepid souls,
though not available as a standard install option.  As you might imagine,
the install code has a lot of hard-wired assumptions about filesystems
that are no longer true for ZFS.  In a future update, ZFS root will be
available as an install option; at some point after that, it will become
the default option; and by S11, I would hope that it's the only option.
