Of course this is hypothetical because we don't have an RDx in the wings
(that I know of, but ... :-)
But if a replacement comes along and you have paid for this one, IBM
typically makes you entitled to the replacement.
Looking forward to the PMRs: :-) Let's make this product better.

Thanks for the response. I did respond to my manager that I felt a 3-year
SWMA was safe, and that our BP should verify that it would work as
expected.
I also pushed to get this done through PPA... here's hoping.
I'm sitting with a number of things to open PMRs about. :)

Let's say that in two years RDp becomes something else like RDx, would a
3-year SWMA contract over RDp apply to the hypothetical RDx?
3-year is the deal, and I'm definitely leaning toward it, but want to
make sure it upscales before I go to my manager asking for a 3-year
contract.
Based on the way things went with WDSC, I'd say a 3 year SWMA on RDP will
get us 3 years of maintenance on RDP but not any hypothetical follow-on
product.
The difference is that WDSC was a no-charge item, while RDP is chargeable.
It is speculation whether Rational will give us entitlements (or not) to
any hypothetical successor to RDP. But I'm guessing that my SWMA will not
transfer to a successor IDE.
