This sounds like a "good thing", though I know jilch about AdvFS. And it
is being "GPL2"ed, my favorite flavor.

Is any one knowledgeable enough to comment on how big this really will
be? Anyone hazard a guess on how long until production quality drivers
are available in common distros?

Is this likely to be enough to shake ZFS loose from Sun, i.e. from CDDL
to GPL? Would be nice.
