This seems, uhm, undesirable.  I could understand if the initial
*implementation* chose to make these simplifying assumptions, but
if the *architecture* or *design* of the feature requires this,
then, IMO, this project needs a TCR to not be done that way.

Certainly, many of us will be satisfied with all-in-one pool,
just as we are today with all all-in-one filesystem, so this
makes sense as a first step.  But, there needs to be the
presumption that the next steps towards multiple pool support
are possible without having to re-architect or re-design the
whole zfs boot system.
