[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS versions

[alka]

To display features, you must import on a newer Illumos. Unless you do a 
pool upgrade, you can still import on a former version.

If you create a pool you have always the option v28/5 that is compatible 
with any OS, even Solaris or v5000 without features enabled or 5000 with 
all new features.

OmniOS and OI Hipster text edition are quite identical (beside LX zones 
and Bhyve on OmniOS). OmniOS LTS is a freeze of current state with only 
bug and security fixes for next two years while OI is a snapshot of 
current Illumos. A pkg update gives you then the very newest Illumos.
