+ A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
+ Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
+ is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
+ compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
+ pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools
+ is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information
+ read the new zpool-features(5) manual page.
+ Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
+ on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
