Stock vanilla BSD's securelevels can also do this, but to the best of my
knowledge, there's no other case where a userspace command will just randomly
push modules into your stack (post-boot) that you didn't tell the kernel to
add.  It's anomalous.

Honestly, the more correct answer would be for zpool status, and puppet/facter
to just no-op if the module's not loaded.  I understand they're trying to help.

Stop helping.
