Do we really think that most administrators would want most operations to
recurse by default?  I would think that -- for the most part -- only a full
image-update (as it were) should be recursive, and that with default
recursion, I would end up using -Z global on every command.

Perhaps we recurse on any operation that involves synced packages, or only
on synced packages within an operation.  But I would hate to install some
random package in the global zone only for my zone administrators to find
that it ended up in each of theirs as well.

Or am I misunderstanding where this conversation is going?

I can envision having zones that are -- in some fashion -- slavedd to each
other, so that making changes to one involves making changes to the others.
Perhaps a non-global zone could be slaved to the global zone, too, in which
case operations on the global zone would automatically recurse into that
non-global zone.  But I wouldn't expect that to be the normal course of
operations.
