            Bug ID: 254441
           Summary: bectl should prevent creating BEs with unbootable
                    names
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: probono at puredarwin.org

bectl should pervent users from using names for Boot Environments that cannot
be booted.

Example:
sudo -A -E bectl create "$(uname -v) $(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S')"
created a Boot Environment called
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p13 GENERIC 2021-03-20-192857
which turned out to be unbootable, presumably due to the spaces and possibly
other special characters in the name.
