Carbon will not be 64bit in Leopard. "At last year's keynote, Apple had claimed that both Carbon and Cocoa would be 64-bit, adding to the 64-bit fundamentals that Tiger had laid. However, according to the latest on Apple's website, Leopard's 64-bit frameworks will include the POSIX and math libraries found in Tiger, Cocoa, Quartz, OpenGL, and X11 GUI framework. In addition, Apple confirms that Carbon will not be 64-bit on the Carbon Developer mailing list." In addition, the readme file included with Leopard's developer preview says G3 support will be dropped from Leopard.

How is not having ZFS by default dropping features? AFAIK Apple simply never mentionned anything publicly about ZFS. All I heard about ZFS on Leopard was from external sources.
Also really... running a G3 on Tiger is already a pain. I don't want to know what it's like with Leopard.
If you want to use your old machine for a server then there's always a good linux distribution suited for it.
