ZFS encryption commit

Sorry I gotta ask but Im a little confused.

This commit:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/commi … 0f02bd9a05

is accepted right? I cloned it to my machine and I find the changes are there. So does this commit mean that encryption is now supported and functional in ZFS?

I don't think the version on archzfs repo has this commit, is that correct? I've read demizer's latest comment about the changes preventing him from updating. Also, I can't seem to enable encryption on a pool.

Last night I received an email from Crashplan they are stopping with the home products, I have 60 days to migrate. I've been waiting for ZFS send/receive encryption and been talking to a friend to share our backups, but we agree we don't want the hassle of GPG or dmcrypt. Native encryption is the way to go. The email from Crashplan means we actually have to start doing something instead of just talking.

Thanks!
