Supported filesystem as in yast lets you choose it? Yes, it is. If there are bugs in it, we'll remove the support from it in yast though (unless of course upstream kernel developers have a fix for it). Which is different to what we do when there is a bug in ext3 or reiserfs - then we're more likely to fix the problem ourselves. There is always a balance in features we can "support" - we can offer them if we believe they do not cause more problems than value. But that does not mean a fix for a problem ariving from it isn't removing the offering of the feature. But in this very case it is very pointless to discuss as the problem was mainly caused by xfs being different than being buggy. Fortunately we noticed the file corruptions in the other file systems, so the crash when using xfs was easily verified as fixed in not causing file system corruptions.
