So just to confirm; disabling the zil *ONLY* breaks the semantics of fsync() 
and synchronous writes from the application perspective; it will do *NOTHING* 
to lessen the correctness guarantee of ZFS itself, including in the case of a 
power outtage?

This makes it more reasonable to actually disable the zil. But still, 
personally I would like to be able to tell the NFS server to simply not be 
standards compliant, so that I can keep the correct semantics on the lower 
layer (ZFS), and disable the behavior at the level where I actually want it 
disabled (the NFS server).
