Years ago, there was a comment in the man page that said this.  Here it is:
"The format of the stream is evolving. No backwards  compatibility is
guaranteed. You may not be able to receive your streams on future versions
of ZFS."

But in the last several years, backward/forward compatibility has always
been preserved, so despite the warning, it was never a problem.

In more recent versions, the man page says:  "The format of the stream is
committed. You will be  able to receive your streams on future versions of
ZFS."
