I'd extend your point on zpool expansion to ZFS's general inflexibility when it comes to reshaping pools or rebalancing ZRAIDs.

I'm sure it's not an issue in enterprise environments, but I've personally been bit by ZFS's inability to shrink or rebalance pools (even offline) several times now through personal use.

Those sort of use cases need to be handled if ZFS is to become a more general use filesystem.
