I think there is a reason IBM publishes most of these planning statements 
way in advance of a new release.  And an "I can't believe they really 
mean..." attitude will bite you in the as$.

The loss of OV/400 was so drastic they gave us notice 2 or 3 releases in 
advance of the one that would no longer support it.  And people still 
tried to figure out ways to get it to run, even crippled, in that release. 
 Reminds of the gas service stations that were given 10 years notice to 
replace their underground tanks, and still tried to get an extension. Zero 
were issued.
