This is a ludicrously absurd argument.
a) ZFS is not included by RH.
b) RH has some reason for this: either
i) they like btrfs better, or
ii) their lawyers like ZFS less.
In either case, UPSTREAM DOES NOT INCLUDE IT WITH THEIR ENTERPRISE OS.
Therefore, given CentOS's mission, this argument is "all sound and fury,
signifying nothing".
