Right. On my development workstation I use Arch and I'm always worried a kernel upgrade is going to break the ZFS module. For those that aren't familiar, ZFS isn't part of mainline Linux because of licensing incompatibility (and general distrust of Oracle).

On FreeBSD I know its always going to work.

It's probably fair to say that trust in Oracle is irrelevant to OpenZFS.

Where Linux does use ZFS: to the best of my knowledge, it's typically OpenZFS – https://qht.co/item?id=47407937 is my own use case.

I was mainly referring to statements made by Linus Torvalds that got a lot of press. Canonical seems undeterred by any such arguments.
