We're busy trying to push customers that way from V5R4 but it is not easy.

With the exception of the guest LPAR capability - which is of very
limited value to a stable shop - there are few if any good reasons for
a customer to move from V5R4 except to "stay current".

When weighed against the work required it becomes a very difficult sell.

Most of the upgrades I have seen have been driven by hardware changes.
