For x86, that may be true. For arm and mips platforms, ZFS is too much of a
memory pig-dog to run on much of the kit we run on in that space. Turning it
off is part of removing the type 2 muda from the system.

In any event, the double negative is true. Don’t build ZFS when its absence has
been requested with WITHOUT_ZFS is correct.
