What jank? Compile it in the kernel of load the module, install the zfs utils, then it's done. Very simple, no complications, where is the jank?

Ostensibly DKMS can be interpreted as jank, for situations where you upgrade your kernel, zfs integration fails or blocks that, and now you are in limbo. At least, I can imagine this being a complaint from someone.

I can see that. I compile ZFS directly into the kernel so I've never really dealt with DKMS issues.

I certainly would qualify having to compile it for your kernel as jank.

It's not a different step to have to compile it for my kernel. I patch it in and after that it's a transparent part of compiling a kernel in total.
