seems so, but the non properly exported case is still important.  for
example NFS HA clusters would stop working if slogs were always
ignored on import---you have to 'import -f' and roll the slog like
it does now.

And I think the desire for the removal feature is both these:

 * don't want to lose whole pool if slog goes bad

 * want to test out slog, then remove it.  or replace with smaller
   slog.

so your case handles the second (though you'd have to export/import to
remove, while you can add online)

but it does not handle the first.

I want to make sure the common conception of the scope of the slog
user-whining doesn't ``creep'' narrower.  I think the original slog
work included a comment like:

  q. shouldn't we be able to remove them?

  a. yes that would be extremely easy to do, but my deadline is
     already tight so I want to resist scope creep.

now, here we are, a year later...
