It's clear from the article that while the filesystem is a future replacement for jffs2 it probably wasn't nearly ready in time for Diablo, let alone Chinook both of which use 2.6.21 IIRC.

UBIFS is stable and very close to be production ready. It was
tested on OLPC and N810. The development was done on flash simulator
on a 2-way x86 machine. However, UBIFS needs a good review.
I would bet it's on the table for the next major revision unless there are issues with the stability. Jffs, while having it's issues, is a time tested flash filesystem driver.
