The kernel patch for Solaris 10 8/11 (Update 10) have been released on OTN, the patch information is available here. This indicates that the new Solaris update is due for release quite soon. The patch metadata confirms my previous speculations regarding updated ZFS functionality that even includes the new hybrid block allocator.
One of the most interesting things is that it includes support for upcoming SPARC T4.

... and when shall we see zpool shrink ? Sigh ...
That has been long overdue, I am uncertain on how the progress with that now that most of the old ZFS-team have quit Oracle and they Oracle are not very good on hinting on upcoming features.
The status of this in October 2009:
"Now: Code works on quiescent pool
Soon: Work with concurrent read/write activity
Finally: Configuration changes, out-of-space issues"
But that was before the acquisition.
