Re: Die 7.1 Die!!!

First rule of thumb is always check with your vendor. They run into a few
categories:
- Yep, works fine, tested and certified. And with new additional
features!
- Yep, works fine, tested and certified.
- We're running it here but offer no certification
- We've had a few customers do it and it works for them.
- Mostly works with just a few minor inconveniences.
- You'll have to upgrade to this one version before the OS upgrade.
- Hey, let us know what you run into buddy.
- We plan on supporting 7.3 at some future date.
- We plan on supporting 7.3 when they drop support for 7.2
- We're quite content with 7.1 and have no plans to change and we're
raising our maintenance fee 3%.

There are some things. For example, Java 6 isn't supported on 7.3 and
that affects some products. Then again, support for Java 6 dies late
December 2017 for both 7.1 and 7.2 (see EOS 7.1 announcement at the
beginning of this thread. The Java thing is in there also.)

I was on 7.3 quite early on. So, I've already forgotten most of the "this
doesn't work" problems. This is one problem when one wait and sees too
darn long - people forget. I know we had to upgrade Domino but that was
solely because of the Java 6 issue. And Domino was slow in coming out
with a 7.3 compatible version. We actually moved Domino to a different
lpar because of it. No one holds me up. No one.
