I would like to change my MacBook's disk and install Leopard on it, but if it is going to have ZFS soon, I wouldn't like to format again (I know I don't have to, but I want ZFS).

If they are going to introduce ZFS, it's going to be during the next major upgrade.

This replaces the current restricted, read only implementation that's default for Leopard installations.

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.
