Take a look at how it's done on OpenBSD! Take a look at have it's done on A=
rch Linux!

When there is something that is going to break something during an upgrade,=
 you get timely information and a step by step instruction in what to do - =
BEFORE you do it!

Something like this doesn't help!
=C2=A0 Pool 'zroot' has the bootfs property set, you might need to update t=
he boot code.
=C2=A0 See gptzfsboot(8) and loader.efi(8) for details.

I might need to update the boot code!? WTF does that even mean?

 I never touched any boot code during installation so I don't even know wha=
t that is! And reading those man pages did NOT help me in any way.

So now I got a box that's borked with this beautiful message after updating=
 the zroot pool:

ZFS: unsupported feature: com.delphix:head_errlog
ZFS: pool zroot is not supported
Can't find /boot/zfsloader
Can't find /boot/loader
Can't find /boot/kernel/kernel
