Al:

Please review the cover letter for V5R2 5722SS1-SI08258. Although the PTF can 
be applied immediate or delayed, there are explicit "ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS:" 
that effectively cause this to be a delayed PTF even if applied immediate. And 
I did in fact apply it immediate.

My question was about the point of IBM's releasing this as allowing immediate 
even though an IPL was still needed. Overall, I wasn't so much complaining as 
simply trying to get ideas about why IBM did it this way.

I.e., What's the point?
