I'm not convinced that people are "used to the fact that this command blindly 
zeroes 512KiB at the beginning and the end of the disk".  I think that this 
command is seldom-used, and when it's used it's for the documented purpose: 
"Removes ZFS label information."  That said, I'm open to evidence to the 
contrary.

I agree that with my suggestion,  "there will be no easy way of "full cleaning" 
labels", but I don't know of the use case for that.  I don't consider "abusing 
... to wipe other kinds of metadata" a legitimate use case.
