There are some who want a journalling filesystem on their CF device. Did anyone do e3compr yet? :)
Personally, I wouldn't bother with it - these things have a form of pseudo-filesystem, probably similar to FTL or NFTL, implemented internally to emulate a block device, and it's been reported that they don't do that particularly well - they break down and lose data if you put them through the kind of repeated power cycle tests that JFFS and JFFS2 have been subjected to. A journalling filesystem on an unreliable medium is sort of pointless.
Far better to use a real flash device. But maybe I'm biased :)
