Re: What's this about a V7R1, when IBM hasn't even gotten to V6R2?!?

From: James H. H. Lampert
And what are the changes, that are evidently too big to just
call it V6R2?

Well, the 7.1 identifier corresponds nicely with Power 7 chips - not to mention Windows 7.1. See, we're in sync! For what that's worth.

Honestly, I haven't paid close enough attention over the years to comment about what could traditionally be called a "version" upgrade, vs. a "release" point. 7.1 vs. 6.2. I'm just happy the OS name, IBM i remains intact.
