Looks like once again Fedora has screwed up the latest release for ZFS. What distribution of Linux lends its self best for ZFS?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I'm intrigued to know what has happened; is ZFS on Linux not reasonably stable by now?

I suppose they used a kernel newer than is currently supported by the latest ZoL stable release (0.6.3)?
Well ZoL stable supports 3.16 so unless he is using 3.17 which came out 6 days ago that's not it.
I have been using ZoL on Debian Wheezy for a year now and it's always been fine. Been through 0.6.1, 0.6.2, and 0.6.3. A simple apt-get upgrade has always worked perfectly.

Are you sure? Because the release notes of 0.6.3 say that it supports up to 3.14.

I have read that it does according to the git development discussion and mailing list. I am using 3.16 kernels on a half dozen servers with 0.6.3 and testing 3.17 on a few with a recent git.

I am 100% sure. Mainly because I have 3.16 from backports on my server right now and I'm using the stock 0.6.3 ZoL Debian packages.
And it also says right here:
