"The next security and maintenance release for Apple's Leopard operating system could arrive sooner than later if the company maintains its current cadence, which has seen two successive pre-release builds land in the hands of developers in just five days. On the heels of the first external test build labeled Mac OS X 10.5.3 build 9D10 and released privately late last week, the Mac maker on Tuesday followed up with build 9D11, which adds nearly 20 more fixes and code corrections, bringing the new total expected with software's release to nearly 100."

You can already have read/write ZFS with the installation of the ZFS package from Macosforge.org.
This replaces the current restricted, read only implementation that's default for Leopard installations.

I don't think they'll be releasing completely new functionality until they can fix their mistakes and finish the code planned for the initial release. They're doing that little by little.
Considering how the QuickTime team just released large number of fixes, I have hope that Apple might have a clue again. They might finish quickly with 10.5.3 but I get the feeling that they'll be up to 10.5.13 before they get most everything fixed...and start the cycle again with 10.6.
