Yes it does.
While I think that allowing multiple clones to be created in a single txg is perfectly reasonable, we shouldn't need to artificially restrict the clone namespace in order to achieve that.
Agreed, but other than pattern based I can't at the moment thing of a nice way to pass all the names over the /dev/zfs ioctl call while maintaining the fact it is pretty much all fixed size.
I'm not saying passing a list of names over the ioctl is impossible, more it just doesn't feel right to me at the moment - but I'm happy to be convinced otherwise. That way the patterning part can be left to the shell.
