Mergemaster and bootpool on CURRENT

Hi,

I've just updated to r273910 and this behavior of mergemaster -Fi 
confused me:

The installed file /boot has the type "symbolic link" but the new 
version has the type "directory"

/boot is symlink, indeed:

# ls -ld /boot lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Sep 3 03:37 /boot -> 
bootpool/boot

# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
bootpool 978M 990M 977M /bootpool

Shouldn't mergemaster ignore it? This is ZFS on eli setup from 
bsdinstall (don't remember which version).

# zpool status -v
   pool: bootpool
  state: ONLINE
   scan: none requested
config:

     NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
     bootpool    ONLINE       0     0     0
       ada0p2    ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

   pool: zroot
  state: ONLINE
   scan: none requested
config:

     NAME          STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
     zroot         ONLINE       0     0     0
       ada0p4.eli  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors
