The Future of ZFS in FreeBSD

Definitely feels like it. OSX had its "we're onboard with ZFS" moment which vanished. I am believing this was a licence fubar.

I doubt it would have gotten announced w/o the approval of their giant army of lawyers.

Apple AFAIK started work with Sun in charge - it was Oracle getting its hands on Solaris tech that had Apple pull out.

Or they just figured they wanted a file system that also works on mobile devices (apfs even works on watchOS) with limited memory.

I could wear the ZFS thing was from so long ago that APFS wouldn't even have been a glimmer in an Apple engineer's eye. 10.5 or 10.6?

Yeah, there was a period between ZFS not happening and APFS really starting, as far as one can tell.
