It certainly changes some semantics...

In a UFS/VxVM world, I still have filesystems referenced in /etc/vfstab.
I might expect (although have seen counterexamples), that if my VxVM
group doesn't autoimport, then obviously my filesystems don't mount, and
that will halt startup until I deal with the problem.  This is often a
good thing.

With ZFS and non-legacy mounts, I don't really have a statement that the
ZFS filesystem /path/to/critical/resource must be mounted at boot time
other than the configuration of the pool.  I guess I need to make some
more explicit dependencies for services if I want some of them to
notice.  (Unfortunately creating/removing dependences takes a bit more
work than maintaining a vfstab today).
