False Alarm: No ZFS in Leopard?

I hadn't heard of the ZFS controversy beyond knowing that Schwartz 
preannounced. Then people with good contacts within engineering and 
responsible for lots and lots of code conversed an idea where things 
were heading without trying to name names or give any details. They 
said, "we'll know tomorrow morning". This was a couple days ago.

I guess we may now know. Schwartz may have talked to Steve on the 
iPhone and got the usual sentence by the iJudge reduced in a plea 
bargain.

Update: An Apple spokesperson contacted InformationWeek on Tuesday 
seeking to clarify Croll's statement. "Croll was apparently supposed 
to indicate that ZFS would be available as a limited option, but not 
as the default file system."

The publication is reportedly drafting a separate story to note 
Apple's mis-statement and "hopefully to reveal more about how ZFS 
would work in Leopard."
