I've been using EXT2 in /boot since I saw the recommendation in the early days of EXT3. I haven't seem anyone suggest that in quite a while, so I guess it's become a 'personal quirk' now.

He was, yes. Nowhere did he say that any given machine had >1 boot

Separate partitions that mount as /boot? Maybe if they were all in one PC on one
disk. My such are spread across lots of PCs. I do have lots of boot directories
per PC:

FWIW I tend to use ext4 without journal. And since the questions have come up in this thread... - why no journal? It takes up space; it adds complexity. And it won't be there when you most need it anyway -- i.e. when GRUB tries to access it. But these are my two cent and mine alone. You can have 'em if you don't complain :-) The other tendency here "ext2 is very old, don't use it" -- hm. I think this is exaggerated. Ext2 is fine and stable for this use, and I don't see any downsides (yet). Perhaps the day file system code gets significant strengthening against malformed FS images, and *if* ext2 is left behind in that effort... but it seems we're not there yet.

Hello! :-)
I have desired ZFS-on-root OOTB on Debian GNU/Linux stable for many years.
As you may already know, the ZFS license and the Linux license do not
play nice together. Thus, many (most?) Linux distributions do not
provide ZFS-on-root OOTB.
But, people want ZFS-on-root on their Linux distribution of choice. So,
people find and post work-arounds. Matthew Crews has kindly posted what
appears to be the current work-around for Debian Stretch (no, I haven't
tried it):
> See the ZFSOnLinux Wiki:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Debian-Stretch-Root-on-ZFS
Grab a test box, a pair of SSD's, and give it a try. Let us know how it
works out (or not).

1. The easiest path that I have found for creating FOSS Un*x-like
systems with ZFS OOTB is FreeBSD. Beware that the BSD userland and root
CSH are not GNU.
2. I seem to recall that Ubuntu added ZFS OOTB a few years ago. STFW,
it looks like they currently also have a ZFS work-around:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS
You might want to download the latest stable Ubuntu installer and
give it a try.

The ZFS package in Sid is still at 0.7.9, and upstream stable is 0.7.10. https://packages.debian.org/sid/zfsutils-linux https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/zfs-linux https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-0.7.10
