Where might you have heard this? – Ward Muylaert Jan 21 '11 at 18:27
It was widely reported last year that it was a possibility. – fluteflute Jan 21 '11 at 18:38

Short answer: no, we're sticking with ext4 by default.

However btrfs support has been improved for 11.04 (btrfs can be your boot partition). It may well be adapted as a future release's default - see the Ubuntu's Development Manager's blog post from last year on the subject.
