So, let's see, ZFS is on what, version 29 . . . version 30 . . . what ever.... It takes a bit of time to get those types of features baked in and working. Not sure how they can get a lot of them working on v.1.0. Just separating the disk engine from NTFS layer with no features adds is going to be tough enough. It would be like separating the Disk Mangement interface into two separate pieces. The part that is "online", "initialize" and "partition would have to be all in some sort of ZFS like construct with pools, virtual devices (vdev), vdev redundancy (mirror, raid, raw) and replacemnt/repair/scrub tools. And then the NTFS layer with format, drive letter, mount point stuff. Also, for server side, no mention of ZFS style enhancements like SSD log or SSD cache adjunct features.
