Availability of bugfix releases for LTS

Asked by zrav

I welcomed Ubuntus decision to support ZFS officially, but ironically it has led to worse update availability. Currently no up-to-date bugfix release of zfs on linux is available for Xenial. We experience serious issues with the provided version 0.6.5.6 (uncontrolled ARC growth leading to OOM killers etc.), which is fixed in newer ZoL releases. Please consider honoring the long term support commitment and providing bugfix versions for LTS Ubuntu during its supported lifecycle.
