Re: PTF superseded question

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

Sometimes PTFs that are replaced by newer PTFs move to 'superseded' status.
Sometimes PTFs that are replaced by newer PTFs just stay 'Permanently 
applied.'

Effectively they are the same as you cannot remove either a superseded 
PTF or a Permanently applied.
