Developing what? It's already here. You would be developing something
else :-)
I'm not sure when you last used Samba, but believe me, it's going
forward at a pace that OI cannot realistically match.
The sole purpose to me is to support a couple of ugly legacy Windoze
systems, and the less time I spend thinking about it, the better.
So if you don't really care about serving CIFS, it wouldn't really
matter to you that they'd come through Samba or anything else?
I don't doubt that a Samba developer would feel quite differently. Your
opinion is valid, but it just doesn't apply to me. :-/
I have no idea how they feel, but I'm sure it'd be better to have them
involved and aware of OI rather than not.

Lots of stuff coming down the pipe with SMB2.2/3 as well.
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba3/SMB2#SMB_3.0
Plus things like: File Server Remote VSS Protocol (FSRVP) for
snapshots. Interesting in their wiki they actually name ZFS as an option.
I highly doubt that is going to find its way into the illumos cifs service.
