I don't think there are any technical reasons why zfsdump/zfsrestore can
not exist on their own -- it may just be a matter of they are not written
yet. I could see them as acting the same way as ufsdump/restore, or
considering the zfs team's (brilliant) methodology of looking at these type
of problems with fresh eyes zfsdump/restore ending up working in completely
new and exciting ways.
