I've wondered about the ZFS man pages for a while. There are some
changes I can see that would be useful upstream, but also some that are
specific to FreeBSD and/or the interaction between ZFS and FreeBSD.


Obviously these man pages have some local modifications already, for
things like the 'jailed' property. What is the proper procedure for
making local changes, and how do we sync with upstream?
