To more properly answer: Technology Refresh number 7.

Since V7R1 came out, IBM decided ( correctly in my view ) to deliver updates, new functionality, "goodies", etc via the PTF route rather than the the every 24 month Version/Release/Modification (VRM) method. The reason as I understand it is every VRM required companies to go through massive work to upgrade. Picture a company with 500 LPARS to update, It could take two years to upgrade, certifiy, etc the changes. With upgrades coming out every 24 months, it was impossible to keep up....

So new functionality is delivered incrementally via the Group PTF so they are able to avoid the VRM audit/tracking changes that go along with them.

See the developer works web site for much more information.
