"Classic" iSeries is just as stable as ever -- classic meaning
RPG/Cobol/CL/DDS/etc. 

However, as new functionality is rolled onto the box via java, PASE,
linux, etc, so are new problems and bugs. I can tell you, the "new and
improved" Content Manager for iSeries (replacement for WAF) is neither
solid nor consistent -- at least not with 8 million documents -- it's
actually undeployable. Also, look at Bleddyn's comments in Ignite about
ND and load balancing on iSeries, again, problems configuring what
should be simple applications. 

What has always made the iSeries so rock solid and given it it's low TCO
was the integration. Now as things are ported to iSeries via PASE, Java
and AIX/Linux we're left with int, teg, and ration -- not quite as
useful.
