Is there any chance we could have JFS as an install choice for 11.0?
JFS has been getting ever more irrelevant over the last years as it and we already provide a number of more actively supported, more widely adopted, and better tested file systems. So, if anything, there should be a huge disclaimer as not to bother and file any reports should the use of JFS eat your data, burn your house and crash your machine.
My own recommendation these days is ext3 for system partitions and XFS for your data.
Going forward ext4 and others promise potential and I'd much prefer us to look into those rather than beating a dead horse.
(Sorry for being blunt, but we have a wide array of input from a large number of users and there is a reason why JFS is deprecated with current versions of SLES.)

Blunt does it for me, as the misconstrued impression was that JFS was something you just didn't catch up with to date. It got good press elsewhere. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
