We seem to come to a similar problem as wuth UFS 20 years ago. At that time,
Sun did enhance the UFS on-disk format but the *BSDs did not follow this change
even though the format change was "documented" in the related include files.
For a future ZFS development, thee may be a need to allow an implementation to
implement on-disk version 1..21 + 24 and another implementation to support
on-disk version 1..23 + 25.
These thoughts of course are void in case that Oracle continues the OSS
decisions for Solaris and other Solaris variants can import the code related to
recent enhancements.
