I don't want to flog a dead horse, and I'm also perfectly happy with
the compromise we found, but the deprecation of JFS and now more
recently LILO were clearly Novell decisions, not community decisions.
I think perhaps the case of JFS was a good start - it's still part of
YaST, yet clearly marked as unsupported.
JFS is unsupported upstream, that is what drove that decision. IBM is
no longer doing any new development of it and only very little bug
work for it, if any.
To my knowledge, Dave Kleikamp still does active JFS support. The
latest release of jfsutils is not even a month old.
