Apps would need to re-certify on every new OS release. That would be
time-consuming and expensive.
At what point does code become 'legacy' and disqualify an application?
To say S36 or S/38 code is legacy is fine & would probably gain
consensus. What about pre-RISC OS/400 code? Pre-V5R1 code? Any code
not compiled under a currently supported-by-IBM OS release? Using the
5250 user interface? Using SNA communications?
Since we're talking about BPs and not just ISVs, what about a solution
that involves 'legacy' hardware? Say, anything that involves a modem. Or
twinax, non-redundant power, 10K RPM disks, or RAID cards with little to
no cache. FTM non-RAID setups.
PASE & QSHELL are IBM-supplied and supported environments. They have
not been deprecated. While code that runs in those environments may not
have been natively developed for the i platform, IMO it should be
certifiable. The certification is about application, solution, & vendor
capabilities, not design methodologies. Also, the current TCP stack
runs under PASE so if you disallow PASE you can't do much in the way of
communications outside the box.
You need to define your certification criteria very carefully.
