Re: You can get your hands on WDSc 7.0 ...

Either because it's Sunday or I'm getting old, but I'm confused. I've never got an update for WDSC through PPA - I either used the updater in WDSC or downloaded through www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400 (or whatever that gets redirected to). This was true before Rational.
I don't know what is meant by the test environment - except what comes with WDSC - the updater would bring it down if need be. Again, PPA never entered the equation for me.
Also, the announcement to which you referred was for HATS - nothing to do directly with WDSC, except that the latest version installs as a plugin.
So I'm curious - do you have the advanced edition of WDSC? Then it is probably a different kettle of fish. Folks on the iSeries that have the 5722-WDS licensed product do not need PPA to update the standard edition - and probably should not do so. 

This horse is almost dead - sorry to keep riding it.

       Yeah.  I never heard of Passport (dis-)Advantage
until after WebSphere    (and WDSc) came into the picture.
True, server PTFs still come from    Fix Central or
wherever, but maintenance and upgrades for the test
environment (as well as for WDSc itself) had to be
downloaded from PPA    (pre-Rational, anyway).
