The fact that these air forces (and my country is one of them) continue to opt for the F-35 should be a pretty good indicator that though classified, the JSF performance (despite delay and cost issues) is still highly sought, and of course is still adding even more orders from even more nations (and watch for more this year).
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt seem to remain with a lot of people on the internet who never served a day in their life and who don't bother to read beyond certain headlines. if you are ignorant, fear uncertainty, and doubt, are to be expected. Governments around the world are continually renewing their faith in the F-35 to the tune of billions of dollars, whilst the internet looks for any cherry picked statement that the end is nigh. IOCs are getting closer by the day and production is ramping up continually. Its too bad that a lot of the things that make the F-35 such a world beater are classified, but if you take a look around and remember that "people vote with their pocketbooks" the F-35 clearly has some special abilities, and although governments may play games like Canada's "reset", they remain JSF partners. Governments and their Defence Forces have been committed to the f-35, save for little political token maneuvers like this.
Its too bad you don't have access to classified performance data, but thats probably not going to go away. Many aspects of the F-22 are classified, along with the F-18E/F, and EF-18G, but I don't hear a lot of fear uncertainty and doubt when it comes to those aircraft for some reason. in fact many people promote those as JSF alternatives without hesitation. Many military programs and systems are classified, the parts that aren't are often low balled to hide true capability as well.
