Ugh. This changed. It is indeed dangerous now. I just tested it with a  
non-root pool which didn't had all flags enabled. "zpool upgrade  
<pool>" will now enable all features.

I remember that it wasn't in the past and I had to enable the feature  
flags by hand. I don't know if a pool with bootfs set is behaving  
differently, but I consider testing this with a real rpool to be  
dangerous.

Bye,
Alexander.
