I think it's mostly for the benefit of retrying the same command, if a send|recv breaks partway (and you're not sure where). recv is atomic, but only per dataset/snapshot - not for a whole send -R stream. Note it will also break if there are intermediate snapshots missing on the source, but still on the destination, since it will only skip incrementals that match what it already has. recv -F may "help" here. -- Dan.
