This could be good, or could be bad.
This could also be a sign that maybe these products will no longer be
enhanced, but only supported.

IBM did the same for AJS, Advanced Job Scheduler, years ago.
AJS support is now from a 3rd party.
We haven't seen any enhancements for AJS since then.

When an issue came up regarding AJS, the support became much more difficult,
going to a 3rd party.
Some of the normal support options were no longer available to trouble shoot
an issue.

Why is this Sad? IBM is paying them to do the work on these products but IBM
still owns them.

So far they haven't got RPG. Just RDi on the development front - which is

sad enough.

Maybe they'll just remove free form from RPG so that it accommodates
Abstract?

HelpSystems is going to take over development of some software from IBM.
Evidently they have time on their hands or they wouldn't be doing this.

I've been asking HelpSystems for years, when are you going to update
Abstract to handle freeform RPG?. Sigh.
