I forgot about that. JFS was originally developed for OS/2 and then ported to AIX. Since AIX was developed under a Unix licence, JFS suddenly became a derivative work, that's now "owned" by SCO.
I don't see it being the reason for taking away support for creating JFS filesystems during installtion, but leaving everything else? Everything else works just fine with JFS except 1) creating JFS filesystems at install and 2) having a root JFS filesystems.
Perhaps for the benefit of those who had previously used JFS and are now upgrading to 9.3? As I mentioned earlier, I only know they claimed technical reasons. I have no information, beyond that. You'll have to ask someone at SuSE.
