Re: How many IBM i commands are obsolete?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrik

Thanks for confirming what I guessed at, about the CMDDEV menu. It does 
suggest that IBM have sometimes removed references to obsolete items. 
Whether to actually remove the items, I don't have direct knowledge of 
how that is decided. The current effort going on seems driven a lot by 
security vulnerabilities and requirements - decisions are made by what 
resources (human and time) are available.

Cheers
Vern
