I have a related question... as far as I'm aware, the ZoL kernel<->userspace interface is still not versioned: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/1290

Effectively, this means that the version of zfsutils-linux must always match the version of the kernel modules. What is the plan to handle this in Ubuntu's HWE kernels? For example, if Bionic gets ZFS 0.7.3, will that show up in the Xenial HWE kernel? If so, that will create an incompatibility, unless zfsutils-linux is updated in Xenial. But if zfsutils-linux is updated in Xenial, then it will be incompatible with the Xenial GA kernel.
