I know that was one of the pre WWDC rumors and I was looking forward to finally dumping external hard drives. Did this come today or did I get my hopes up for nothing?

Did we hear anything about Time Machine over iCloud?

Center Stage and all the other new features look super cool as usual, but iCloud Time Machine would be SO GREAT. I have used services like Backblaze before, and they're fine I guess, but third parties don't give me as much peace of mind as built in services. I suppose there's also something to be said for not having all your everything invested into one ecosystem, but I'm not sure where else I would trust my data, not that there's anything in there anyone would care about.
My suspicion is that Apple is aware that there are a lot of people that use Time Machine and may even consider it mission-critical if they value the ability to easily move from Mac to Mac or restore a destroyed Mac from a hard drive. I would guess it's a much more complicated backup than an iOS backup, and would probably be locked to the premium iCloud bundle.
