The sixth major DragonFly BSD release, version 1.10, was announced today by project creator Matthew Dillon. Billed as "more stable than the 1.8 release", it includes improved virtual kernel support, a new disk management infrastructure, improvements to wireless networking, and support for the new syslink protocol. As to what all that means, KernelTrap has just posted an interview with Dillon. Going beyond today's 1.10 release, the interview explores DragonFly's new clustering high-availability filesystem which sounds superior to ZFS, the project's goals for the 2.0 release expected in six months, and a comparison of the BSD license versus the GPL.

The DF filesystem and ZFS does not even have to same goals, so to claim that one sees to be superior to the other is quite weird in my opinion. ZFS was considered but was rejected (though with userland FS support coming it might be ported over anyway) since it was not suitable for clustered storage on multiple machines potentially connected over slow links.
