This is the model that is imposed in order to take full advantage of zfs

It was not really a serious question but it was posed to make a point.
However, it would be interesting to know if there is another type of
filesystem (even on Linux or some other OS) which is able to
reasonably and efficiently support 16K mounted and exported file
systems.
Eventually Solaris is likely to work much better for this than it does
today, but most likely there are higher priorities at the moment.
