I do not agree on dropping RPGIII, I did abandon it long ago (I use web
as user interface) I use service programs and other nice things in the
modern RPG, but if I receive an old program I want to be able to compile
it, in a modern computer.

Dropping a product will cause people to stick with the old computer.

Does that mean nobody, on this list anyways, disagrees with the idea
of dropping RPGIII?

What I wish IBM would have done is offer entitlements to ILE compilers
and RDp based upon the tier when upgrading from v5r4 to 6.1 or 7.1.
Support of OPM compilers and PDM/SEU could have been officially
dropped with the products offered as a PPRQ or something for those who
really want to pay for the privilege of living in the past.
