But your reply cleared it to me now that I just have to wait. I find the lack of filesystem encryption very surprising, but at least there is some progress made.

I'm not aware of any strong demand for Solaris encrypted FS. AFAIK, these are recent things. Moreover encryption, being considered a weapon by the current US administration, is a tough issue for companies and projects based there.

OpenBSD is based on Canada for at least that reason: http://openbsd.org/crypto.html and I believe the FS you cite are all projects from elsewhere than the US.
