gvinum status?

[Michael W. Lucas]

Folks,

Not sure which mailing list to send this to, so I'll try here.

Back in the day, vinum was a big deal. It's been replaced by
gvinum(8). And gvinum is the only in-base way to do OS-based RAID5.

But I don't hear much about it.

Is gvinum discouraged or slated for deprecation? Or is it merely less
popular now that everyone's jumped on the ZFS train?

Thanks,
==ml
