One of the more interesting changes in Tribblix m37 is the removal of the ZFS restriction that forces 32-bit timestamps. This means that ZFS on Tribblix now allows files that have timestamps after Y2038. Other filesystems (eg tmpfs) allow this already, but this will highlight some applications that aren't ready for the future.

And one way in which this is interesting is that it's actually rather unusual for Tribblix to make changes that get it ahead of illumos-gate. Is this just an outlier, or will I start to push more changes into Tribblix first? I don't know yet.
