Apple publicly committed to use ZFS in Snow Leopard server in the
middle of '08 after an eval by an Apple due diligence team. The
engineering was moving forward nicely.
But the Apple team procrastinated on getting a license from Sun - and
when Sun accepted the Oracle offer it was too late to get one until the
deal was completed and Oracle approved.
That introduced too much schedule risk for Apple's taste, so they
pulled the support. It may yet come back if Oracle approves.
