Yes, I've been running JFS on my root partition for some time now.  We 
had some serious problems concerning the root partion prior to the 1.0.4 
drop (at the end of August), but JFS is much more stable now.

I'm currently running JFS 1.0.11 on my laptop, which I poweroff hard 
quite often for testing and to reproduce problems, and I haven't had any 
problems at all with the root partition.
