I hope that answered your question.
I had thought that libbe relies on ZFS behaviour introduced after Build 79. Will a DP2 build (which has rpool/ROOT/preview2 as a pattern, but is Build 79 based) actually be able to run pkg/libbe correctly? We expect to be able to upgrade from DP2 to the next release, so this is a required (presumably manual) test case.
