    I think its a mistake to integrate the storage layer into the
    filesystem.  That would effectively limit us to a single filesystem,
    ZFS.
Well, ZFS itself isn't that integrated as it's said. You can use the 
low-level volume manager by itself and create UFS volumes on top of it. 
It isn't as straightforward as a simple volume manager since you still 
get the superfluous caching and checksumming but it works.
