Works fine here.
I have zfs root + refind on my laptop and grub2 + zfs root on my desktop with ssd cache drives. Works like a charm. It eats a bit of ram though :)

Just added a couple repositories to arch and build a new usb stick with zfs included.
Instructions here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_Arch_Linux_on_ZFS

The only backdraw is that I have to wait for the zfs repository to update whenever arch releases a new kernel. Usually it takes 1-2 days so it's not too bad.
Also, keep in mind that you can not offload the ZIL to another (ssd) drive for the root zpool so make sure you make a separate pool for the root and one with all the rest /usr, /home, /var etc.
You can add cache ssd drives to the root pool though.
Offloading ZIL (log) speeds up the writes and cache drives speeds up the reads.

Once you go zfs you don't go back as the possibilities are endless ;)

If you can prove that you have used substantially less than they claim and cut you off.
As a side note: why the hell would anyone go with a plan with data caps?
A 100 mbit fiber connection with no caps at all is around $100 a month here, if i drop to 60 mbit it costs $50. I think there are about 10 providers in this area competing with DSL, cable and fiber.

Of course you need to evaluate them too. I'm not sure how it is in the US as I don't live there, but are the salaries equal in the private and public schools? If not there is no point in evaluating the teachers in the public schools as all the good teachers will have drained to the private schools with higher salaries.
Having equal salaries in the public schools makes sure you don't get the worst teachers by default.

If the salaries are equal then my statement is moot of course, but if not I'd much rather pay the teachers than fueling several wars abroad if I was a US citizen.

Oh, and I work as a risk analyst in one of the biggest banks in the world so I'm not exactly a leftish radical or something if anyone thinks that!
