Resending with a subject line:

I'm at HMC: Version: 10 Release: 2 Service Pack: 1041

FLRT says that's good. Says there are no recommended upgrades.
Says Latest version: V10 R3 M1050.

I'm at firmware ML1030_065_026. FLRT recommends I update to ML1030_075_026
or upgrade to ML1050_052_052.

What FLRT doesn't say is that if I grade my firmware to ML1050_052_052 I
had better have my HMC at V10R3M1050 (PTF MF41419). I left feedback.

1 - What started this are some security concerns with my current level of
HMC.
2 - I seem to recall something about if I am using one hardware feature in
a P10 then I should be at 104x of firmware but if I am using this other
hardware feature I should be using a 105x of firmware. Does the latest
105x of firmware cover this?
3 - Any reason not to upgrade HMC to V10R3M1050 and firmware to
ML1050_052_052? I do not usually subscribe to the notion that I should
always be a level or more behind.

We're at IBM i 7.5TR3 and AIX 7200-05-06-2320. FLRT is recommending an
upgrade of our AIX.
