Even though the core of ZFS is platform independent, separate repositories are necessary because significant platform-specific changes need to be maintained for the parts of ZFS which interact with the rest of the operating system (VFS, memory management, disk i/o, etc.).

One of our goals is to more clearly separate the platform-dependent from platform-independent parts of OpenZFS to make porting changes easier.
