They do need to start on the "next" filesystem and it seems very ideal
for Apple.  If they didn't then apple will be making a huge mistake
because whatever FS's exist now, zfs has already pretty much trump'd it
on almost every level except for maturity.

I'm expecting ZFS and ISCSI(initiator and target) in Leopard.  After
all, OS X borrows from FreeBSD.. FreeBSD 7 has zfs ;)

FWIW, I heard the rumor from their sales guys.

The wouldn't say whether it ZFS would be available in 10.5 or 10.6, and
they wouldn't say whether it ZFS-boot would be available when ZFS is
introduced -- but they did confirm that it's being worked on.
