Request for local partitioning unbundled from DB2 Multisystem Was: IBM i 7.3!!!!!

Just checked my requirements submitted to COMMON:
Summary: Unbundle partitioning of local databases from DB2 Multisystem
and put into OS.
Status: Rejected

Per Scott Forstie @ IBM
If unbundling equates to allowing local partitioning to be used without
having to purchase DB2 Multisystem, we are not going to unbundle it. DB2
Multisystem has unique value and with IBM i 7.3, the value is increased.

My update:
Now that 7.3 is announced we can talk about how that value is increased.
However, we ain't shoveling out the money for DB2 Multisystem just for
local partitioning.
It just isn't worth someone's salary for a long duration just to be able
to change
delete from rco_hist where where year(system_end)=2014
down to
alter table rco_hist drop partition 2014
