Re: Adios SDA, DFU, RLU, etc

Just to toss in some FUD...
April 30, 2025 is three years after the announcement of IBM i 7.5.
IBM i releases are on a three year rolling schedule.
Who is to say what will work, and what won't, on rNext?
IBM i 7.5 documentation already has some stuff listed which will be gone on
"the release after 7.5".

They're just dropping support. Not shutting it down. SDA would be a
killer if they took that away.

I don't recall needing support for SDA for the past 30 years. :)
