ZFS for production in an ISP?

Is TextDrive nuts? I can't believe I just read this about TextDrive Support:

"And yes, for Solaris we will be using ZFS."

*boggle*

I mean, ZFS is cool and all; but it just got seeded to OpenSolaris developers in build 27a.

Any ISP that says they are going to be using ZFS today needs to be whacked upside the head. For testing? Sure. Long-term? Maybe after they go through a full Solaris 11 release cycle with it. I've heard conflicting reports as to whether zfs will be only in Nevada or if they will ship it as an 'add-on' to 10; my bet is that it only makes it into Nevada, but I could be dead wrong. Who knows.

ZFS today? For customer data? Come on.
