So really in the end I would vote for a single no-charge license of ADTS

customers to move to the latest technologies. But I don't know if their
approach is good or bad at this point other than they will catch a lot of
flak.

And remember, the idea to charge a little less for RDi (or conversely a little more for ADTS) is mine and mine alone. IBM hasn't said they would do that. Unlike some of our other suggestions, they seemed lukewarm to this one. I think the thought was that the idea has some merit, but not if it put a real burden on existing customers.

Personally, though, I think some gentle incentive to move people off of ADTS is warranted. Or else you drop a dime in a cup every day you use SEU and you use that to pay off your annual SWMA surcharge.
