makes sense.  All the same, please do not retaliate against the
bug-opener by adding a lazy-assertion to prevent rpools from being
split: this type of brittleness, ex. around all the many disk-labeling
programs, is a large part of what makes Solaris systems feel flakey
and unwelcoming to those who've used Linux, BSD, or Mac OS X.  and
AFAICT there is not much of it in the ZFS boot support so far---it's
an uncluttered architecture that's quite friendly to creative abuse
and impatient hacking.
