Summary

find -s was introduced to make the metalog more
deterministic. However, find -s is not portable. find | sort is
portable and accomplishes the same goals, even if it isn't
pedantically the same. TZS is the same before / after the change so
any fussy differences between the two are moot and there won't be
METALOG churn across this change.

Might be wroth adding a comment that find -s is not portable, to discourage someone from changing it back to remove the extra exec as an optimization.

env LC_ALL=C sort, for great justice

LGTM although I still think a comment is warranted
