ZFS to become default file system in OS X?

The thought of making the conversion to ZFS from HFS makes me shudder.
It must really be useful only for new hardward or one in which you can
start from a virgin disk already formatted with ZFS.

This is accurate?

I appreciate the insight into why this file system is valuable - and
if it IS a part of Leopard then I understand why having it available
for developers to do some serious banging on in advance of the release
would make a fall release a Good Thing.

Are there consequences for the handling of metadata as a result of the
file system change that a new Finder might make good use of (not to
mention, say, Spotlight, etc)
