No, however anyone used to reading IBM tea leaves has to be wondering about a couple of the items in this list.   Note that PDM with SEU is NOT on the list.  Just all the other virtually unused portions of that software.

Hmm. SDA is on the list. I occasionally use it. But it's hardly something I would expect to need on a customer box, and I can't remember the last time I used it on anything other than our own development boxes.

I also noticed that DFU is on the list, but there are a number of commercial applications (including our oldest) and at least one open source application, that do what it does, and a lot better, and of course, there's always STRSQL.
