This is a giant self-own and a very long winded way of saying "Linux will ignore the best implementation of a thing because we/they don't like the license."

Dismissing checksums as unnecessary? Okay, now I think they're just trolling. Years of running ZFS teach you that bits flip, a lot... and you have no realistic recourse without block level checksums.
