Running ZFS base vs ports

Hi,

Since the issue of ZFS spinning [1] up disks has been solved in ZFS 2.4.1 and I really want that ASAP, I discovered ZFS in ports which is 2.4.1.

I cannot see that the documentation mentions anything about ZFS being in ports too, why, or how to use that over base, if one wants to do that?

A search in the interweb provides answers like, "it's only there for the devs to do testing", eh what!? Should they (the devs) then not have their own ports or something if that is the case? Gullible persons like myself might be tempted to just install it and hope for the best, well because it's in ports after all, so it must be in there for those who need more recent versions of ZFS right? :)
