Guys, seeing this email and the amazing triage & patch of the ZFS
corruption situation a few weeks ago
<https://www.illumos.org/issues/883> I am absolutely amazed with the
quality of your work and getting more and more confident that
OpenSolaris technology has found a safe heaven here.

These kinds of reports are used by me to point to, when people tell me
that "Solaris tech used to be good, but now it is dead". Please, keep
posting stuff like this. You are showing everyday that you are good
enough to solve real tough OS problems, innovating, and not only keeping
the OpenSolaris legacy "alive".

I only hope the Illumos project can have enough funding to keep this
"legacy" alive and kicking for a long time.

I am proud of being around you, even if only lurking.
