The Fedora kernel package still has support for JFS compiled in, in
F14.  So I suppose it must still be supported.  

F15 is in release candidate status.  Unless the changes are backward
compatible, it won't land there even after release.  Caveat:  I'm not
developing F15, so this is just a logical deduction, not an in the loop
knowing. Perhaps someone else can give you that.

Keep an eye on the kernel list and see if the latest version in
development (2.6.39?) is going to get this new JFS version worked into
it or if it won't be till 2.6.40.
