So all we need to direct some of the money we already spend for 
supporting developers and certain developments to core ZFS developers no 
longer employed by Sun/Oracle and that way make FreeBSD the primary ZFS 
development platform for the future. If you have the key developers, the 
community will follow.

Before someone starts argueing... I know, it's not that easy and I don't 
have a clue how one would do that. This is most probably more like a 
crazy idea than a plan that could actually work :-/
