--- Comment #2 from Larry Rosenman <ler at FreeBSD.org> ---
When you say:

bectl create newbe

it will use the currently running boot environment.  For a person that is 
not familiar with the underlying libbe(3) create call, it's unclear that the
currently running boot environment will be the one cloned to create the newbe
environment.

What I'm asking for is to add the statement from the libbe(3) create call
documentation to the bectl(8) create command documentation that without a 3rd
argument the currently running boot environment will be cloned to create the
new boot environment.
