Why isn't nosudo the default?

Hi,
I noticed that on Proxmox all users can run zfs commands. Is that also the case for other systems? Are there any reasons to avoid running the commands as an unprivileged user?

If sudo is required, I would also suggest being more restrictive in the suggestions you include in README. Something like this seems to be enough and doesn't grant access to any dangerous zfs commands:

<user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/zfs list
<user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/zpool list <pool>
<user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/zfs get compression <pool>
<user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/zfs get compressratio <pool>

Debian also does not require root privileges to run the zfs and zpool commands that monitor pool health.
