RE: i5 Youngsters

One other thing. More banks use System i's than you realize. They don't want
the world to know which holes were fixed, because then the hackers will know
where the holes were, and they'll start poking around the edges of those
holes.

To some extent, "security through obscurity" is a good thing.

Yep, and they'll release an "Integrity PTF" and be done with it.
You'll have no idea how important that fix was.
