AFAIK, JFFS2 hasn't changed much for many releases, so its current
status pretty well reflects its status for many previous releases.

Regarding the EXPERIMENTAL status; this was changed without CC'ing the
MTD list (although David was CC'd, it seems) in commit:

commit cf98c5e56807af7c793497bbd0446f71c383ffd5

    fs/jffs2: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

Judging by the commit description, this change just represents a
change in attitude toward the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL Kconfig option
rather than any particular judgment of JFFS2 summary support.
