Has anyone seen a statement of direction like "IBM plans on IBM i 7.3 to
be the final release supported on these models..."?

V5R4 was the last release to run on any machine which supported five
versions of IBM i. Unless they plan on repeating that might that mean
that any machine capable of running IBM i 6.1 may not run rNext?

I think it would be a nice budget planning statement for those considering
Power 9 hardware. Might increase sales.
