Anyway, we've already had a fairly conclusive ZFS answer. It can't be

integrated into base OpenBSD because the license is incompatible. The

license is

unlikely to change. Implementing it from the specifications has licence

issues, is hard and bug prone.
A kernel module can use the code - all it needs is someone to volunteer

(sorry, not me : not interested). There's then nothing stopping someone

creating

a minor OpenBSD fork with the integrated module ZFS support, if they

need it from installation time that badly.
