Our current answer is that our platform is ZFS based, and given the muddy waters with Oracle and Solaris and so on, it's more responsible to deploy ZFS on FreeBSD.
But JUST BARELY. We've had our ZFS roadmap in place since 2009, and only just finally deployed in 2012. Our intention originally was to switch to Solaris, with real support contracts and contractual commitments and so on, but then Oracle came along.
So then we had to come back to where we've been all along, since the beginning of JohnCompanies[1] - with FreeBSD.
[1] JC deployed with FreeBSD since the first VPS product rollout was based on jail, so that was that.
