But with ZFS, "they" and "we" largely overlap so all the ZFS code is being tested on FreeBSD from the start and we're not waiting for them to do a release first. In terms of stability: OpenZFS 2.4.0-rc4 has had far more testing on FreeBSD than most of the "release" versions of contrib code shipped in 15.0.

I see, thanks.

I guess I'll have to trust your judgement on this :)
