Your change seems to contradict the OpenSolaris ZFS documentation[1]. It postulates that automatic mount management is what you want and the other way is legacy. Now the consequence of that chance is that the ZFS data structures tell that they should be automounted at $location but we ignore that now? Doesn't that have the potential for breakage upon the next reboot after installing that stable update? (Especially for machines with a single kFreeBSD&ZFS instance, i.e. servers?)
