I see.

There is a problem with this though, we have howtos suggesting 64K for
the size of the freebsd-boot gpt partition:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ1

now that size isn't sufficient anymore. We should at least update these
information soon.

Also repartitioning could be problematic in certain scenarios. I think
this change should be at least published in UPDATING and maybe also in
the future release notes for 11.0.

Personally I'll find a way of reorganizing my disks to fit this change,
but it's something that could byte users.
