question on survey question

 >>  a new RPG language feature still boils down to the same set of MI
instructions.

Well no it doesn't actually.  For one thing the modern compilers don't
generate MI - they generate w-code (which in turn goes to MI-prime which is
not the "old" MI at all).  Second point, many of the new functions are
implemented as service program routines.  Unlike the old compiler the RPG IV
compiler practices what it preaches and generates many functions as calls to
functions.  Since those functions would not exist in the service programs on
old releases, a PTF would be required to bring the service programs up to
level.
