depends on what you say. :)

i am personally (not day job) running current with zfs on one production
server and contemplating more[0].  i am running current ufs on a number of
other servers.

i figure someone has to put the stuff under load.  and it does not bite
me too often.  of course, when it does, i kick myself. :)

i imagine some others may be like i.  as i have no time to code, i try
not to demand a lot unless something is really likely to bite someone. i
just report bugs and don't expect a refund.

[0] need to build a 20tb raidz2 system, kind of an nfs store to serve
some data collertor(s) and compute egine(s).  trying to sort out disk
controller and 10ge card decisions and the hardware / freebsd support
space is complex.
