This new PSARC putback that allows to rollback to an earlier valid uber block

This immediately raises a question: could we use this PSARC functionality to
recover deleted files? Or some variation? I dont need that functionality now,
but I am just curious...
Not really. Uberblocks are associated with transaction groups. A transaction
group can contain writes to many different files, and those writes aren't
necessarily everything that's in a particular file. You might luck out and
restore a particular file in a rollback like this, but you'd probably lose a
lot of other data at the same time. We don't offer the ability to rollback if
the pool can be opened/imported successfully anyway.
