Package: partman-jfs
Severity: important

Hi!
The JFS filesystem is deprecated in the kernel: on life support since 2009
and with talks of removal altogether.  Thus, we really shouldn't offer to
format new setups with it.  There are people who kind-of remember JFS being
the fastest back in the day, and it's irresponsible to set them for failed
upgrades past Bookworm.

Thus: please remove JFS from the installer.


Meow!
