[bugs] [illumos gate - Feature #1163] zpool destroy should prompt user

[illumos bugs]

Issue #1163 has been updated by Garrett D'Amore.


THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

Zpool force avoids a bunch of checks.  It should not be used just because you want to use scripting.  Don't break the interface here. 
This bug gets a heartfelt -1 in my opinion.

Commands should not need to prompt for verification.  If you have permission to run these commands (e.g. as root), then you better know what you're doing.

Hi all

Destroying a beadm will prompt the admin:

<pre>
root at mime:~# beadm destroy oi-likewise
Are you sure you want to destroy oi-likewise?
This action cannot be undone (y/[n]):
</pre>

In my opinion, changing zpool and perhaps zfs to do the same would be a jolly good idea....
