The docs for 7.5 say that 5770UME is required for Electronic Service
Agent. However 7.5 is the last release to support 5770UME. Are the docs
for 7.5 out of date?

I am reading this list of software which will no longer be supported
beyond IBM i 7.5 at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/668193
One thing I have installed is 5770-UME, IBM Universal Manageability
Enablement.
Can I safely remove that? Should I bring the system into restricted
state first?
What functions will I lose, if any, at 7.5?
From what I was reading it was part of CIMOM and UME was installed on
new systems by default. Not that I really understand what CIMOM is or if
it's in use.
The "Related information" for 7.5 CIMOM goes outside of IBM and the
links are broken.
