    I thought I saw that with zpool 10 (or was it 15) the zfs send
format had been committed and you *could* send/recv between different
version of zpool/zfs. From Solaris 10U9 with zpool 22 manpage for zfs:

The format of the stream is committed. You will be  able
to receive your streams on future versions of ZFS.

-or- does this just mean upward compatibility ? In other words I can
send from pool 15 to pool 22 but not the other way around.
