Hi,

I am also not sure how the version system will work out in the future 
but *2.1 is a LTS release* for ZFS as you can see in their documentation 
[0]. "LTS releases will receive patches for at least 2 years. The 
*current LTS release is OpenZFS 2.1.*"

Since the 2.1.0 Release had several release canidats, over the span of 4 
months, there should be a low risk of major bugs. Additionally the new 
features are all behind feature flags (DRAID, InfluxDB, Compat Prob) and 
not enabled by default. Also some of the new feature are in the works 
for over 3 years and used in Production already.

Personally looking forward for a new release since I want to create my 
new RAID with ZFS DRAID. :)
