Ok, lemme put out a general call - is there anyone who is using or
wants to use lxc with zfs and who would have time to help straighten
this out?  If/when I get two days where nothing else is likely to come
up, I'd like to sit down and address this, but it'll take that time
to clear my head to think about this right so that I make it better
not worse...

(I hope that sometime in december I'll have such a block of time,
but hopefully someone beats me to it)
