I'd still like a record of the kstats in this case, albeit with Project

Why bother for Project Private interfaces? Because in this case the
kstats are quite visible to end users (as are all kstats) via kstat(1M),
and so I think its useful to record the fact that these are explicitly
*not* supported. It will also help potential future developers who might
need the information in the stats, although it will also underscore to
them that any use will require a contract.
So while the list isn't *required*, it *is* desired (by me at least).
So why not wait for the project to integrate?
Writing it down here is useless; it's a PRIVATE interface.
All that is needed is a simple statement:
smb kstats are a private interface; relying on them will break your code.
