But these were security corrections. Although there was only one in
the Net.Data PTF, it's main title was about "security". It was a gift
that the other new things came to V4R5, too. I don't think it will
ever happen again.

Maybe for the HTTP server. But i think every responsible webmaster (at
least pbA, where security by obscurity fell off) tries to keep up with
releases and PTFs on his web machine / partition just for
security/availability reasons and has left behind unsupported releases
a long time before.

RPG is completely different, IMHO. (But we knew that before :-)
