Does FreeBSD's ZFS reserve 1/64 of the capacity for COW?

Hi,
Today I came across "Becoming a ZFS Ninja Part 1"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPsV_8k-aVU featuring Ben Rockwood who
stated that ZFS reserves 1/64 of the capacity for COW safe-guarding.
Fast forward to 00:49:44. Thus, one should take this fact into account
when planning the storage capacity of your (larger) zpools.
Does FreeBSD's ZFS also reserve 1/64 of the capacity for COW?
If it's true, then I guess this should be noted in zpool(8) and in the
Handbook.
Any comments or insights?
Do you think I should file a PR?
Have a nice weekend! ;-)
