You propose just another example of "blind repeated rule". Your idea won't hurt in single-disk, single-partition case, but this case is prohibited by other "blind repeat" rule of making lots of partitions. What if i want export things from multiple disks? just make one another separete partition on each disk for /export/something just to make system config look "nice" or "professional" because it's good to have NFS exported things to stay in /export Such practices gives only illusion or cleanliness and order, actually giving exactly opposite. Actually one ZFS adventage grown on this - it allows you to make millions of "partitions" without actually creating them, because it's all still stored in one pool. But those who feel configuration with a lots of partitions "cleanness and order" are happy now. I see this as just a pure mess, not an order.
