I know this case was Self Review and I agree with it being self review.
It is after all a debugging tool.
As a ZFS developer I've been using this tool already and it has been a
huge help to me debugging problems with ZFS Crypto and send|recv.
I see very little use for it by normal admins and

But I see no similar warning for zstreamdump, nor an explanation
as to why that warning do

I am sponsoring the following case for Lori Alt. Requested binding is
micro/patch. The case introduces a new command, zstreamdump, which is
used to dump the metadata in a zfs send stream (i.e., the output of a
'zfs send' command). It will also verify the checksums in the send
stream.
