ZFS surely is cool, but I'm not sure how much it benefits FreeBSD
compared to something like journaling, or adding features to our
existing filesystem, or even write support for one of the already ported
read-only filesystems we have (like XFS, or reiserfs).
I'm afraid adding write support to XFS or reiserfs is not easy, and then
there's the license issue. ZFS might not have the best license either but we
can work with it. Apple's updated HFS license is also something that could be
worked with but Apple is interested in ZFS too so it must have something
interesting ;-).
I realize how hard getting write support for one of those is, for
certain. You'd still have to go through the labor with ZFS though,
unless you are talking about read-only support for it. I don't know
much about licensing stuff...
NetBSD has a Journalling Google SoC, definitely interesting if they get far.

We did too last year, but it didn't complete. I think Scott Long is
back looking at it again (I've seen some hints of life in the p4 repo).
