dtrace for FreeBSD?

I know ZFS in freebsd is coming along, as it is in macosx .... but what happened to the efforts to port DTRACE? Its fairly well done in MacOSX.

The relevant pages seem not to be updated anymore:
http://dtrace.what-creek.com/
http://people.freebsd.org/~jb/dtrace/todo.html
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/freebsd-current/2008/2/5/728124

any more recent news?

I also think its time for the Linux people to admit defeat with SystemTap and perhaps rethink a new framework that will do what DTRACE does, but maybe better?
