It's not a rebrand but rather the next generation of MacZFS, incorporating ZFSonLinux code and part of the Open-ZFS umbrella project. For those curious about the difference between ZEVO and MacZFS see https://code.google.com/p/maczfs/wiki/TensComplement
"Please note that if you are running MacZFS, you should use their site instead: maczfs.org"
Sounds like a different project. That's just from giving it a quick glance. No idea what's going on under the hood.
Edit: As the next comment points out, I'm wrong on that one.
Take a gander at their github: https://github.com/zfs-osx
OpenZFS for Apple OS X

from the project's readme.
That's nice, its still a rebrand of MacZFS and is still missing some key features (like TRIM).
I thought with newer SSDs TRIM is no longer as important and in some FSs even has drawbacks?
Some SSDs implement TRIM at the firmware level, but Trim support in the fs is pretty much required if you want to use ZFS on an SSD
WTF are you talking about? TRIM refers to only one thing: the ATA TRIM command that gets sent to the drive by the OS. TRIM isn't the same as garbage collection or wear levelling, though it makes it easier for the SSD to do both. It is however completely unnecessary for the drive and filesystem to work together to correctly store data. It's just a performance hint, and one that isn't even that important for many drives and workloads.
