What do you guys think?

I can think of a use case for "deferred": improving the efficiency of a
large mega-"transaction"/batch job such as a nightly build.

Yum Yum!!

We could even build this into nightly(1) once we have user delegation to create clones.

nightly(1) would zfs clone, zfs set reservation=, zfs set sync=deferred,
and when it is done release the reservation unset deffered and snapshot.

When we can have it ?
