Mostly thats me only :D Yes, a patch to handle errno incompatibility has
gone in. About the release date, we haven't decided yet. (ie, another week,
15days or 20days. not more than that).

I am not sure how good ZFS on BSD is. Also, Currently the compatibility code
for supporting extended attributes is there in Solaris part of GlusterFS,
need to check about BSD too. (When we ported BSD had xattr support, but not
sure of ZFS over BSD). Other than that, I am not seeing any problems with
using it.
