Totally agree with this. Not having hardware to support a new release is not a valid excuse. Talk to Brad, he connected with IBM's team to obtain a new server which will support at the least rNext and maybe rNext+1. He seems happy with the cost and the machine acquired.

For those that don't want hardware there is cloud. At one point an IBM i software in our cloud had 10 different partitions between AIX, Linux, and IBM i. At the time i 7.3 was announced they jumped on that immediately.

I realize some packages are very release agnostic but they still should have at least some way to test and validate each release. Honestly it's sad when you see a vendor that won't even go that far. They certainly lose my recommendation in such situations.
