Yes, it's been a huge help in getting smaller customers upgraded at our IBM i in the cloud. Some of our small customers don't need more than 100GB, so having a LS that big was an overkill for them.
I had made the request during the 7.2 Beta, and they didn't get it into 7.2 GA, and then after additional arguments, they put it into 7.2 with TR1 (made me very Happy). Remember, before upgrading you need to get the new PTFs for either 6.1 or 7.1 so that your IMGCLG will verify if you have the smaller LS with virtual disks (i.e. IBM I hosting IBM i.)

Subject: Minimum load source size update
Anyone notice this about minimum load source source size for guest partitions hosted by IBM i?
Starting with IBM i 7.2 TR1, the minimum loadsource requirements have changed for external and virtual loadsource LUNs, and fixed issues with RAIDed Native-attached SAS drives. The minimum loadsource sizes are listed below:
Minimum of 35 GB for 520-byte sectors (DS8000, virtual disks with VIOS as server)
Minimum of 40 GB (to get 35 GB useable space) for 512-byte sectors (SVC, Storwize, virtual disks with VIOS VSCSI or IBM i as server)
Minimum of 70 GB for Native-attached SAS/SCSI (Both 520-byte or 4K
sectors)
That's a big help from the previous 75-80 (to get 70 GB useable space) requirements.
