ZFS AnyRAID

For anyone unfamiliar, see Docs: ZFS AnyRAID

What are the complexities of implementing the AnyRAID feature? I saw a few mod posts saying its still likely years away.
The equivalent BeyondRAID on DROBO was one of my favorite features. I'm sure its proprietary and nobody is going to just give you their code. But I'm curious if its possible to build off something like BeyondRAID now that DROBO is defunct?
Sorry for being a pain but 2nd to a local interface this is really the main feature that I really want from HexOS.

honestly we don't much about when its coming just that it has started development.
it was probably more about setting proper expectations that its not gonna come anytime soon.

probably best not to build off of beyondRAID since it was slow. slow is bad in so many ways.
resilvering is longer, giving drives a longer window where failure would be catastrophic
expansion and scrubbing would also take forever.
plus don't we all want our systems to be as fast as they could be

just a guess but i would assume it has to do with the parity calculations and making sure the zfs stuff works correctly.

 the forums are here for all your questions so don't be sorry.
local interface is definitely still coming. I just don't have an eta to give you.
