[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Did Oracle give up ZFS?

[Aron Xu]

I read it as an advertising campaign of BTRFS, but I don't think the development status (investment and contributor amount) is as healthy as before since 2016. Also what we are shipping is OpenZFS (forked from opensolaris), which has no further direct relationship with Oracle for its future development.
