I've heard that they withdrew JFS from the distro because it wasn't as stable a Reiser, but I'm not sure I trust my source.
At some point during the SUSE 9.x line, a bug was discovered in JFS - unfortunately, Dave Kleikamps (the IBM author/maintainer) fix didn't make it in time for the SUSE deadline. Subsequently, SUSE product management decided that as "JFS wasn't really being used much anyway", testing and QAing the JFS install support was only taking up resources unnecessarily. Check the archives and you'll see it's been discussed a lot. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
