Ummm... I didn't suggest that ZFS be shipped with or distributed with |
2 |
the kernel... |

I was talking about some kind of overlay or patch system, where I could |
5 |
add zfs to my kernel use flag, and it would pull the gentoo-sources from |
6 |
wherver it pulls them, and pul;l the patch from a *separate*/*different* |
7 |
source/location, and then put the patch where it needs to go to be |
8 |
properly compiled into the kernel. |

Again, the overlay would *not* contain or provide the kernel sources, |
11 |
only the zfs 'patch'. |

I don't see a problem with that. |
