I think what he's asking is if it's possible to replace a whole mirror or
RAID-Z vdev in one go. For instance, replacing a small mirror with a bigger
one requires replacing each disk of the existing mirror one after another
sequentially.

The most ideal solution would be a replace in a single go, which would
however require the ability to address these vdevs. Example how it should
be:

zpool replace tank/0xDEADBEEF mirror c1t0d0 c1t0d

Where the 0xDEADBEEF part would be a random short ID assigned to a
mirror/RAID-Z vdev to let you target it specifically (not possible right
now, AFAIK). Addressability would also help with removals in future.
