Given that ZoL doesn't support reflink (ficlone/ficlonerange; see also https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/405), and that ZFS is a CoW filesystem, that's pretty good reason not to have 1.0 release.
In other words, there is no way no use a key feauture, without enabling deduplication (that's exactly that feature, that requires heaps of RAM).

The idea I guess is that many project historically use the power of the decimals to indicate major from minor versions.
That’s it.
This ”scared” and ”terror” talk is a bit unnecessary as the only one interested in numbers in a version no. is someone selling it.
Linus is mocking this very fact by arbitrarily raising the kernel version.
I use ZFS.
I am mocking open source developers' terror of calling something a 1.0 release.
At the same time they say release numbers aren't an indication of quality their actions tell us that release numbers matter a lot and that's why they are scared of calling something a 1.0 release.
