OK, I'd assume that if they were to make UFS the default they'd start 
by picking up the latest version from FreeBSD (like they did for 
Panther). That one uses 64-bit block pointers, and while all the 
userland tools haven't been upgraded  yet they'd be rolling their own 
anyway.

Not doing that would be hateful, of course, and on topic.
