Correct. There will be no 6.2 release. While IBM has done "M" releases
like V3R0M5, V5R3M5, V5R4M5 and 6.1.1 they've never come out with a full
release of i on an older version. Well, the closest thing to that was
when V3R2 came out after V3R6 came out. But that was the whole
CISC-to-RISC thing. This time, the equivalent of CISC-to-RISC is software
(V6R1 and above) and I can't see them coming out with a V6R2 which doesn't
require conversion. Besides, they left a gap last time and they didn't
this time.
