Mach-O Mozilla will be default...

Just after 1.0. It's way too late in the release cycle for them to change over, given the number of problems that need to be resolved in the Mach-O version, and that changes in many more parts of it aren't shared with non-Carbon builds (e.g., networking uses sockets directly instead of the bridge through Open Transport).

Just an FYI:

According to Steve Dagley at Netscape
CFM is the Mac OS X route to Mozilla 1.0 as well as the next major Netscape release. Only after that will we switch to mach-o as our primary Mac development target.

...

Since all the Mac developers at Netscape are focused on the next Netscape release (MachV) the CFM build is what we're concentrating on. That's not to say that work isn't happening on mach-o, such as for plugins (which Chimera needs), but I wouldn't expect the primary Mac development target for Mozilla to switch to mach-o until MachV ships. What Mozilla milestone that will correspond to I don't know but I expect the transition will be as rapid as possible. And yes, MachV should be based on the Mozilla 1.0 branch.
