What Erik said is stronger than the man page in an important way,
though. He said you can dump an old stream into a filesystem on a new
zpool, and when you 'zfs send' the stream back out, it'll be in the
old format. Keeping this commitment means you can store s10 streams
on snv_xxx backup servers as expanded filesystems, not
stream-inside-a-file, and still restore them onto s10 by 'zfs send'ing
from nevada. One reason this makes sense as something one might
actually do because zpools are a lot more resilient to corruption than
'zfs send' streams.
