ZFS is quite nice, actually.

Screw Oracle for their fuckup of a license not allowing it for the upstream Linux kernel inclusion.

We wouldn't have even needed to duplicate the effort and reinvent all of ZFS's wheels with BTRFS.

@drq I'm pretty, and sure, that fuckup was on purpose.

@meena This is very unfortunate. This move looks and feels a lot like what Nvidia does, albeit now with visible source code at least.

@drq you don't have to go looking at Nvidia for bad examples of Oracle fucking over a project or an ecosystem and setting it back by (half) a decade

Just look at MySQL, or Java, or Libre / Open Office

Solaris is pretty much dead, and gutted

@meena What I mean is holding back the necessary modules that could benefit everyone (including them) in relation to Linux kernel specifically.

MySQL is greatly inferrior to MariaDB nowadays, OpenOffice is dead compared to Libreoffice (although LO still sucks, IMO, we need a completely new office suite which is not a fork of ancient StarOffice codebase). And Java is, well... it's Java.

@drq i don't mean that one is better than the other, what i mean is: Look at the mess, and how long it took for the community to heal
