    > [I recommend](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/11679) [not using](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12014) [native encryption](https://www.illumos.org/issues/14003) [until it gets](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12270) [a fair bit](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12439) [more polish](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12418) [in the future](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/11983) ([I'm only so hopeful](https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups/developer/T86620b1082ed9...)).
