Default installation options (and the ONLY options presented by sysinstall) that result in enormous snapshot creation times and long fsck times are just not good enough in the year 2009. I fully understand the reasons behind using something "truly tested and proven by time" as the default, but presenting the newer options to the user during installation process as well gives these newer options (UFS2+GJournal and ZFS in this case) a better exposure, resulting in more testing, resulting in these new features getting their quirks ironed out faster and resulting in these new features getting the "truly tested and proven by time" stamp of approval faster. I think we can all agree this would be a good thing?
