The user can rollback to the snapshot that was taken before package
install, though this may cause issues with files -- such as log files,
mail spool files, etc -- that changed between the snapshot and the
rollback.

There is no other recourse, and we're not planning on any.  ZFS is the way
to get out of this situation.  Doing so perhaps could be easier, and
certainly we need to make it safer, but that will come.
