Comment 1 for bug 1672749

I'd have preferred that Ubuntu's zfsutils be patched to attempt to load the kernel module as needed since that change means that now any documentation telling the user to use "zpool create" or similar zfs commands will fail unless the user manually plays with modprobe...

That very much feels like a regression to me. I understand the reason for not always loading the module, but having the tools attempt to load it would have achieved the same thing without breaking every single tool which uses the zfs tools in the process.
