Just my $0.02, but would pool shrinking be the same as vdev evacuation?
I'm quite interested in vdev evacuation as an upgrade path for
multi-disk pools. This would be yet another reason to for folks to use
ZFS at home (you only have to buy cheap disks), but it would also be a
good to have

Yes.
basically, what I'm thinking is:
zpool remove mypool list of devices/vdevs
Allow time for ZFS to vacate the vdev(s), and then light up the OK to
remove light on each evacuated disk.
That's the
excellent! i wasn't sure if that was the case, though i had heard rumors.

So nobody is interested in Raidz grow support? i.e. you have 4 disks is a
raidz and you only have room for a 5th disk(physically), so you add the 5th
disk to the raidz. It would be a great feature for a home server and its the
only thing stopping solaris going on my home file server.

Knowing specifically what you'd want to do in that
I for one would like an interactive attribute for zpools and
filesystems, specifically for destroy.
The existing behavior (no prompt) could be the default, but all
filesystems would inherit from the zpool's attrib. so I'd only
need to set interactive=on for the pool itself, not for each
Shrinking pools would also solve the right-sizing dilemma.

This may be interesting... I'm not sure how often you need to shrink a pool
though? Could this be classified more as a Home or SME level feature?
Enterprise level
I would really add : make insane zfs destroy -r| poolname as harmless as

this should behave like that:

Absolutely agree. I'l love to be able to free up some LUNs that I
don't need in the pool any more.
Also, concatenation of devices in a zpool would be great for devices
that have LUN limits. It also seems like it may be an easy thing to
implement.

Multiple pools on one server only makes sense if you are going to have
different RAS for each pool for business reasons. It's a lot easier to
have a single pool though. I recommend it.
A couple of other things to consider to go with that recommendation.
- never build a pool larger than you
