One month has passed. Any updates on what could still be blocking the 5.0 switch?

Comment:
ZFS hasn't released a stable version that is officially compatible with the stable kernel version yet and @Vaelatern insists on waiting for that.

Thanks for the info, @Hoshpak .
Oww, what a can of worms this ZFS business appears to be!
Is [this Phoronix report](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ZFS-On-Linux-0.7.13-Released) on the release of ZFS On Linux 0.7.13 (claiming support for Linux 5.0) any reason for hope in this regard, or is it now a matter of a waiting game for one of the parties to budge and give in? I sure hope I can hold my breath for that long :)

ZoL 0.8 perhaps? I sure hope I can hold my breath for that long :)

Comment:
It isn't related to these issues. The issue is just that ZOL 0.7.13 only states compatibility with 5.0rc3 and not 5.0 release. So we have to wait for a release that officially supports 5.0 which will most likely be 0.8.0 since the RC of ZOL already states support.

@Hoshpak Thanks again. I guess we'll just have to wait and see then.

Closed issue by Hoshpak on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9699
Description: These dkms modules are important and their compatibility with a kernel version is relevant for the decision to move the default kernel version:

- [x] nvidia (compilation and runtime tested)
- [x] nvidia390
- [x] nvidia340 (compilation and runtime tested)
- [x] zfs (compilation and runtime tested, waiting for release notes update)
- [x] virtualbox-ose (compilation and runtime tested)

If you are using any of these modules, please consider contributing to this issue by installing `linux5.0` and `linux5.0-headers` and report if everything still works for you.
