Re: Adios SDA, DFU, RLU, etc

Keep using them if you wish, just IBM will not provide break/fix services
any longer.

Plus I’ll bet that handwriting on the wall says IBM i Next won’t include
them and potentially won’t run them. (No real information but watching
IBM for 40 years. You get to understand the cadence after a bit)
