Comment:
I understand the intention to keep this as simple as possible from the maintenance point of view. I have also refactored it the way it would not interfere the stock users and allow customization if wanted. I definitely do not want to brake something in spite of some custom users.

I understand the noextract option, but wouldn't be viable just create subpackages for stuff that is able to be "noextracted" with nearly no cost? Or if it is some non-written convention in Void not to create subpackages much (as for example Alpine do) I would understand that.

Wouldn't then be an option to keep the zfs-userland in zfs package and only create subpackages with dkms and zed? The zfs-test is something that should not be present on any semi-production/user system anyway (but this is true also for the zinject).

With the version incompatibility breakage I remember that form the time of 0.6 versions myself, but since 2.0 or 2.1 I have never see any commit in 2.x branch to break the interoperability between kernel-useralnd on the same branch. And it is not an intention of this refactor. DKMS users will still have the same version on both and the ones that build the zfs inside kernel just need to care themselves.
