Recently the PC-BSD team released their latest stable version (PC-BSD 7) code-named Fibonacci Edition. Some of major changes from the previous version include a newer kernel, an experimental ZFS module, and a KDE 4 for desktop environment. Being a Linux junkie, I thought of this as a perfect opportunity to venture into the BSD arena.

I also think its time for the Linux people to admit defeat with SystemTap and perhaps rethink a new framework that will do what DTRACE does, but maybe better?

I know ZFS in freebsd is coming along, as it is in macosx .... but what happened to the efforts to port DTRACE? Its fairly well done in MacOSX.
The relevant pages seem not to be updated anymore:

any more recent news?
