There is an additional reason I should have mentioned.  Rpool disks 
are special because they are boot disks and x86 boot disks need to be 
partitioned and prepared in a particular way.  Replacing a boot disk 
is an exercise in frustration compared with an ordinary disk that zfs 
entirely initialized.  Compounding frustration levels is not a good 
idea.
