I've had at least some success (tried it once so far) doing a BFU to cloned
filesystem from a b62 zfs root system, I could probably document that if
there is interest.

I have not tried taking a new ISO and installing the new packages ontop of a
cloned fileystem though.

I said I'd try to come up with a procedure for liveupgrading
the netinstalled zfs-root setup, but I haven't found time to
do so yet (I'm focusing on getting this supported in install
for real).  So while I hate to retreat into the "I never said
you could upgrade this configuration" excuse, that's what
I'm going to do, at least for now.  I might get a chance
to work on a liveupgrade procedure in the next couple of
weeks.  In the meantime, if someone else wants to take
a shot at it and post the results, go ahead.
