Is there any hope for someday optionally using ZFS as a root filesystem?

I was sort of imagining a setup where /boot resided in a UFS filesystem 
so it could hold the kernel/modules/regular booting info and - 
/boot/loader.conf would specify 'zfs_load="YES"' along with another 
directive to tell which zfs filesystem to use as root.
