I'm not sure that David S is referring to. Sun open-sourced zfs and it
was at zpool version 28 when Oracle closed-sourced it. So the cat's
out of the bag up to v28. But the Solaris version's currently 36
(IIRC) and, in openzfs, you can enable extra, post-v28 features on a
case by case basis.

[Someone said up-thread that you couldn't expand a pool (or add disks
to a pool). That's incorrect. You can add a same-type vdev to a pool.]
