I've never had to use a short name for my ZFS Pool on FreeBSD. Why is the max length for a ZFS Pool Name 12?

That would be an upstream FreeBSD issue

I think the limit for FreeBSD is 36, 64, or 1024. (or so I was told by the ZFS Masters)

Done: project-trident/trident-installer@292ecfb

Pool name length changed to 64 characters maximum (reasonable length - unable to find exact length limits in ZFS documentation, but datasets can go up to MAXNAMELEN/256 characters).
