zfs 1.7.4 with different installers for High Sierra/Mojave?

Hi, a quick question:

Does the actual code vary, or just the installer script or something?

In other words, if I install the High Sierra version, then upgrade to Mojave, will things continue to work, or will I have to install the Mojave package over the existing install, or will I have to carefully de-install everything pre or post Mojave upgrade, and then reinstall after the OS upgrade?

Thanks!

I did exactly that - installed 1.7.4 High Sierra yesterday, updated to Mojave today - and my ZFS filesystems seem to be working fine for me so far.

Each one is compiled on a version of OsX that is to go on, since the SDK is ever changing by Apple. Most times though, it will just work. Going to Mojave there was a thing missing from the kernel, but we fixed that back in 1.7.3.
