is possible to implement into a future version of ZFS a "released"
send command, like:
# zfs send -r2 <snap> ...
to send a specific release (version 2 in the example) of the metadata?
I just created a RFE for this problem in general: 6882134. I'm not
sure the above suggestion is the best way to solve the problem, but
we do need some kind of support for inter-version send stream
readability.

I haven't see this specific problem, but it occurs to me thus:
For the reverse of the original problem, where (say) I back up a 'zfs
send' stream to tape, then later on, after upgrading my system, I want
to get that stream back.
Does 'zfs receive' support reading a version X stream and dumping it
into a version X+N zfs filesystem?
If not, frankly, that's a higher priority than the reverse.
I think you'll find it isn't "supported" but it does work. That is
there's no guarantee a new stream version will be upwardly compatible
with an earlier one.
