I understand - auditing means never getting to blame someone else :-)

There are things in the log that are (IMhO, and In My Particular Case)
more important than others.  Snapshot creations & deletions are "noise"
compared with filesystem creations, property settings, etc.

This seems especially true when there is closure on actions - the set of
    zfs snapshot foo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
    zfs destroy  foo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
commands is (except for debugging zfs itself) a noop....

Looking at history.c, it doesn't look like there is an easy
way to mark a set of messages as "unwanted" and compress the log
without having to take the pool out of service first.

Oh well...
