	I'd say it's a matter of individual risk tolerance and how well
one knows ZFS.
	Reading questions@, current@, and hackers@, there are many
people happily running ZFS.  But it's also generating _at least_ 10x
the queries and problems of ufs, ext?fs, ntfs/msdosfs, and nfs put
together.  Much of that is "Can I X?" or "How do I X?" ... and the
rest isn't.
	My personal take: ZFS has been out there for less than five
years (according to Wikipedia) and is still in the steep part of the
development curve.  I'll wait until it has a few more gigadays under
its belt before betting the ranch.
