Hi everyone!  I know someone who is contemplating getting a 6.1 machine current.  This isn't exactly my area of expertise (my V5R4 box in the basement is running just fine, thank you ).  That being said, I just thought I'd see what the general consensus is on such a move.  Is it better to go a couple of releases at a time, say from 6.1 to 7.2, and then to 7.4?  Or just bite the bullet?

I also came up with a short list of potential issues:

1. Hardware compatibility
2. SSL ciphers
3. Java version
4. SQL issues
5. Third-party software

Since they're already on 6.1, observability isn't an issue, but now that I think about it, isn't there something to do with system state programs these days?

Anyway, just reaching out to the community.  I appreciate it!
