Well a good indicator is if I have to check the source code of a packaged program to understand what something does, the documentation is not good enough. And yes I've had to do this far too much.

have to check the source code

Use the source, Luke.

But yeah: disappointing. I just swapped out my Chef ZFS module because, looking at the source, it was incomplete in ways I didn't want to rat-hole and extend while this other two-piece kit was there.

I should use the source earlier.
