I CCed gentoo-dev@ because many people in the Gentoo community that had already offered to help with other things. The only immediate effect that this will have on Gentoo is `env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=3D~* sys-fs/zfs` will work on additional architectures. I= f users request that Gentoo support ZFS on their platforms, then we will be in a position to consider that.
