I agree on the 'nice to have'.  That's why I am ordering it.  I may be 
doing some unload/reloads on new hardware.  Actually that should be 
covered if I already have the lpars on the latest release, with TR4, and 
recent cume's and whatnot.  But it would be nice to have if I spin up a 
new lpar.  Or if some local buddy calls and says 'oh crap, trying upgrade 
and I didn't use image catalogs.  I'm in the middle of this and the disc 
is bad.  Help me!"
Respin and TR#'s may show differently.  Read this again:

Now for the quiz.  Two questions.  First question:  What respin am I on? 
Second question:  What TR level am I on?
Clue:  Respin level may be lower than TR level.
