I think I saw zbud deprecation patch (along with z3fold > removal). I guess you still want to keep zpool, just because it's there > already? Now the proposal is to remove zbud right away (patch already sent). If this lands then our lives become easier. I am keeping zpool around for now because it is not doing any harm, we can remove it later. For the zbud/z3fold their presence is a problem due to bit roting, and having to support new APIs (like this one) in them if we want to use them unconditionally in zswap.
