I do see your point...

The other set of dependencies about which there have been complaints is
those for zfs.

I guess that most people will want to look at typical Linux, Windows,
and Mac images. so all components usually used to inspect those should
stay recommended: -hfsplus, -xfs. Everything else would only be
suggested: -gfs2, -jfs, -nilfs, -rescue, -rsync, -zfs.

Does that sound like a plan?

Cheers,
