While not likely *IF* you run into an issue requiring a PTF you are sunk.
Will that happen? Maybe. But if you have software maintenance on the
machine you should simply upgrade to V5R4 ate least and V6R1 if you can,
and stay supported. If you don't have software maintenance you can't PTFs
anyway so you're already flying without a net so going from "supported" to
"unsupported" happened some time ago.

operating system upgrade
We currently have an I520 at V5R3. We were planning to upgrade to a new
machine this spring, but due to the current economy we have decided to
wait a year. I understand V5R3 is being sunsetted in the near future.
Is there any potential danger in running the way we are for another 12
months, without upgrading the operating system? I need to put my
manager's mind at ease (hopefully) on this issue.
