Given that i 7.3, um I mean iNext, has not been announced yet it's not
very reasonable for IBM to have only one widely supported release
available for it's newest generation of hardware. Clearly iNext won't
be supported by all ISVs yet (though it SHOULD BE) and it should be
pretty close to iNext announce for POWER8+
</snip>

If they announce iNext first, or same time, then there will be two
versions supported for Power 8+
And, if it's really that close, then it is possible that TR11 of 7.1 has
Power 8+ support.

And, while many ISV's can only be dragged kicking and screaming to go to a
new release, 7.2 has been out long enough that they should support that.

If you think IBM plays software releases close to their chest that's
nothing compared to hardware. The last thing they want is someone not
buying new hardware this quarter on the belief that something new is
imminent.
