I haven't said anything about existing 'force' behavior, what I meant is that we'll need an option to bypass interactive prompt if the feature was to be implemented.

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....
