https://github.com/ryao/zfs/blob/3881dd42bbfb7297f08e796c38b35d54e11ac500/cmd/zpool/zpool_main.c#L9431-L9431

Does telling a user his own username really count as potential exposure of sensitive information?

I guess this could be dependent on your threat model since a threat model for an IoT device is certainly different from a threat model for a standard multi-user system. However, I wonder if a username, which is public information in most threat models for C/C++ software, really should be counted as sensitive information by `cpp/potential-system-data-exposure`.
