Unless you are requiring a feature (list features with 'zfs upgrade 
-v'), there is no need to upgrade filesystem versions.  If you upgrade 
the pool, you should upgrade specifically to version 28 (don't just do 
an "upgrade") in order to not block interoperability with other zfs 
versions, including current Solaris 10, Solaris 11, final OpenSolaris, 
FreeBSD 9, zfs on Linux.

If you upgrade rpool, always keep in mind that GRUB needs to be 
updated to handle it.
