I could already grow mdraid and reiserfs forever ago.

Yes.. but you couldn't grow ZFS. I don't understand what your point is.
Point was the post is about losing reiserfs, and people are presenting virtues of zfs and btrfs as reasons why we don't need reiserfs any more, and this virtue of zfs is unremarkable.
Unless Im'm terribly mistaken one could always grow ZFS, but it was via adding more pools.
To be exact, either: adding more vdevs to your pool, or substituting ALL your drives in a vdev with a bigger size.
