That's actually not true.  A major part of the rationale for having
the partitioning (ie: mount points) in the name space rather than the
block layer is to allow the administrator to partition his data
and thus limit calmity to the affected area.

I'm not saying that the ZFS method doesn't have merits, but it certainly
has costs.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
