I see what you did there ;)

They may stick with XFS?

There is always NILFS too.

It's been a long time since the introduction of ZFS.  COW/log structured 
(LS) filesystems still haven't really taken off.  There heve been a lot of 
filesystem innovations that never flew.  I'm starting to wonder if/when 
COW/LS will really get popular.  The MS-Windows fuilesystem ReOS is COW 
apparently which may drive adoption of COW/LS filesystems even outside of 
MS-Windows.
