The zfs encryption code missed the window.  Unless Oracle decides to 
make another code dump, any future activity is likely associated with 
the Illumos project (https://www.illumos.org/).  I do know that key 
FreeBSD zfs maintainers collaborate with counterparts on the Illumos 
project to get zfs bugs fixed.

I do see this forum entry:

   https://www.illumos.org/boards/1/topics/256

The main reason to expect/hope that Oracle will make more code dumps 
is that they have continued to maintain the many services associated 
with the OpenSolaris project.
