Jim,

< So far 15 partitions and not a single hitch. Fingers crossed.

Are you referring to V7R3 upgrades or applying the SPECTRE/MELTDOWN fixes.

There is good news with respect to the Google action on SPECTRE/MELTDOWN.
Since IBM was called out along with Intel in a Wall Street Journal report
I've got customers that would not allow me to apply Groups/Cumulative for
over a year to allow it now. We are going nuts getting it all done but at
least they are allowing it.

The other good news is it allowed me to have the V7R1 is not supported
soon discussion with senior leadership and now we are getting the go ahead
to do some upgrades. IT guys claiming the Senior Execs were stopping them.
Senior Execs saying they know nothing about the end of support. Leads you
to wonder where the roadblock really was, does it not.....

So far 15 partitions and not a single hitch. Fingers crossed.
