The script in -current does not use any code from the link above. The  
script in -current does not do snapshots, only scrubs. The script in  
-current does only do "zpool list", not "zfs list". So all in all, the  
script in -current does not need any change (I would have preferred  
the "-t snapshot" way of listing snapshots, if it would have been  
necessary).
