	I agree with Keith on this one, ext4 will probably take its 
evolutionary role in taking over ext3.

	As for ZFS there seem to be some hesitance to include ZFS in the kernel 
due to license and patent issues behind ZFS [1].  I'm not sure their 
discussion regarding the patents and licenses is much beyond FUD but if 
enough of the kernel maintainers are going to take a sit back and see 
approach then ZFS's future with Linux is definitely going to be delayed 
to say the least.
	That's okay, FreeBSD and OS X will be hopefully enjoying the benefits 
of ZFS soon :-)
