Apparantly, Apple is interested in porting Sun Solaris' ZFS to Mac OS X. From the zfs-discuss mailinglist: "Chris Emura, the Filesystem Development Manager within Apple's CoreOS organization is interested in porting ZFS to OS X. For more information, please e-mail him directly at [email address]. Speaking for the zfs team (at Sun), this is great news and we fully support the effort."

Well, that doesn't need to change. AFAIK it's widely considered as a fact, that Solaris (the core OS, without graphical stuff) is much superior to Darwin.
Since OpenSolaris was announced, I am hoping that Apple will use Solaris as the core for Mac OS X.
All higher level features (Quartz, QuickTime, CoreVideo,...) would still be Apple exclusive, but with a more powerfull core.

Aqua is just for one system, Apple systems.
