--- Comment #13 from Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Dag-Erling Sm=C3=83=C2=B8rgrav from comment #12)

It wraps zfs, zpool, and newfs. It does talk directly to GEOM (through libg=
eom)
-- but so does the gpart command-line tool. The point is just that all
partitioning tools and disk setup tools should have the same default behavi=
ors.
If we don't like those defaults, we should change them. And, since we contr=
ol
the whole operating system, we can! Why should we work around bad defaults =
in
the system in one particular piece of software that people use exactly once=
 per
installed system, but leave the normal tools they use repeatedly set up in a
way that can give bad performance?

If this is a real problem, we should fix it across the board. Hacking up the
installer is not the right solution.
