RE: Any idea when the "testers" will get a copy of V5R3? Al?

The word from a local BP(dated Fall 2002) is:

Statement of Direction:

Hope I didn't make any typo's here.  That said there's a big difference (as
previously noted) between "not supported" and "won't work."  Also, I'm
certain that not all of this info is completely correct, e.g. My test system
is on V5R2 and 5722PT1 is installed and at V5R2, though Best/1 is no longer
there.  Also I think that the Netserver not supported after V5R2 only refers
to Windows 95.

ALSO NOTE: October 8, 2003 is the last day to order upgrades from 7xx models
to 8xx models!

Mike,

Not that I have a business reason to care, but I wonder about that also.

I don't see any statements like:
"AS/400 Models 436, 400, 40S, 500, 510, 530, 50S, 53S are not planned to 
be supported by OS/400 releases after V5R1. " 
Which I see at:

Will 5.3 even run on a 720. That is what we have and I thought 5.2 was the
last "supported" version?
