Once again, I find I have to correct myself:
If you go to a future version of zfs, simply replace all your full
filesystem streams with new ones, and then of course start new
incrementals. Any reasonable backup procedure probably involves starting
new full backups at regular intervals anyway,

Any update to this issue, and can you speculate as to if it will be a

Latest is that this will go into an early build of Update 8
and be available as a patch shortly thereafter (shortly
after it's putback, that is. The patch doesn't have to wait for U8
to be released.)
I will update the CR with this information.

I can understand your frustration. ZFS in Solaris 10U3 was a bit

Bob is correct to praise LiveUpgrade. It's pretty much risk-free when
used properly, provided you have some spare slices/disks.
At the same time, I'd say that this is probably an appropriate time to
escalate the bug with support - the answers you are getting aren't
satisfactory.

Turns out setting altroot is the way to do this.
Doesn't work for the root pool. Once you get to the root filesystem,
mounted on /, zfs attempts to mount it. Even though you are using
an altroot, / now maps to /altroot, which is of course already occupied.
