(Get the code!)
Oops, no. My bad.
ZFS support has been rolled into grub2 on vivid, but not f2fs (yet)
util-linux has supported f2fs for some time (blkid) and filesystem recovery tools (fsck.f2fs) have been around for quite a while.
The performance boost using f2fs over journalling FSes on low end SSDs on low end equipment is phenomenal.
There is a lower limit on solid state storage - f2fs opens several parallel streams to the drive and as such won't work well with low end flash memory cards or USB devices.
That said: There is still a performance boost and memory/CPU load drop over journalling FSes, which is useful on memory-constrained low-end hardware and f2fs is a lower-stress FS for solid-state devices in terms of write levels.
It's also suitable for use on higher end SSDs. I have been using it quite successfully on EVO850s The big advantage over the non-ssd oriented filesystems is that it goes out of its way to try and avoid write amplification.
