Who deploys production systems on a large scale with a "private" build of the filesystem code? I want my production systems to run on code that is being used by as many people as possible; I don't want patched kernels, I don't want privately built kernel packages, I don't want a unique system that only I've ever seen. I want a system that is as boring as possible (while still providing the functionality I need to effectively do my job). I want a system with a bunch of people complaining about it and asking questions about it online, so that when problems arise, I can find answers.

Now that ZFS is available on Ubuntu and seems to have some adoption, I guess it's a reasonable choice for some. I'm still a bit iffy on it. I don't really want to add license concerns to my list of worries.
