ZFS has limitations.

It is not appropriate for "appliance" applications such as the Soekris
boxes does due to memory consumption.

ZFS strongly depends on write-ordering around cache flushes, and a pool
can easily be corrupted when this dependency is not met.

BTRFS will be another filesystem to watch.  Perhaps foreign filesystems
could be supported out of ports.  But the fundamental limitation, as was
said, is that someone has to care enough to do the port.
