ZFS-on-Linux has not been mainstream (or existed) for as long as ZFS has been integrated inside FreeBSD. illumos is the free software fork of OpenSolaris -- so it's the repo of record for modern ZFS development.

OpenZFS is the parent project from which ZFS is applied to Illumos, FreeBSD, and ZFSoL

I'm aware of that, I just didn't want to additionally confuse someone who is barely familiar with ZFS with the whole OpenZFS fork and so on.
