This sounds more like a religious dogma than anything else.
what if i run single disk (or mirrored 2 disk) system, no ZFS but i want
everything encrypted by GELI and want only ona partition?
Will you write special bootloader that would be hidden unencrypted on geli
volume?
Will you write 10000 special bootloaders to cope with 10000 cases of
configuration FreeBSD admins want to have in the world?
Or maybe - in the future admins would not be allowed to decide and there
will be only one allowed storage configuration - ZFS volume occupying all
disks, with bootloader designed for that one case?
Seems i made about year ago a right decision to stick to
FreeBSD-10.(between 0 and 1) and then manually apply only security patches
and once backport needed driver from newer one....
