There's been speculation on this for some time, but according to a  
Sun keynote presentation, ZFS will "become the file system in Mac OS  
X" and this will be announced at WWDC. I assume this means it will be  
the default, since it was already known that it was to be included.

He mentions Mac OS X at around 27 minutes in. Real Player required,  
unfortunately.

Seems like very positive news!
