  WHY?!

  I don't see any good reason to not support this, aside "It will not be
compatible with Illumos". I don't buy this, sorry. Any other reasons?

 There is one BIG problem: deep ZFS hierarchies. If I need to export 100
FSes (100 users' home directories, for example) in one ZFS tree to 4
networks (2xIPv4, 2xIPv6) I need to add 400 (!!!) lines to /etc/exports
by hands. All these lines will be virtually the same, and good luck to
maintain this mess.

 If "sharenfs" supports multiple hosts/networks, I need to set this
property ONCE (on zpool/home, parent of all FSes in question) and IT'S
ALL! And if I need to change same options, I need to change it ONCE and
re-export ZFS.

 Unfortunately, it is NOT enough to export parent FS :(
