ibm i development budget

["Steve Richter" <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Neil Palmer writes in ITJungle this week:
"...I really want to believe that there is a "next 20 years" as Mark said at
COMMON, but looking back at the past year, we've seen the i5/OS development
budget progressively chopped from around $130 million to around $28 million.

Is that accurate?  $28 million budgeted for working on enhancements to the
base OS?  Does that number include bug fixes and PTFs?

With that kind of a limited budget, I question if there will be a v6r2.
