The compatibility property is also very interesting; especially with how it's expandable. It covers GRUB2, per OS, OpenZFS by year, ZoL versions, and more. It is gonna make setting up new systems and long-term management so much easier. Thanks Colm.

draid vdev support has been available since OpenZFS 2.0. I have it running on a FreeBSD 12.2 system via the openzfs port, and natively on a FreeBSD 13.0-RC2 system.

Yes, much of the code was there, but upstream had it marked as experimental. 2.1 is where openZFS devs officialy said "yep, this is good, feel free to use it"
