I'll admit to being a bit concerned myself....

OTOH, while Edmund, Eric & Mike have been great, I don't know that they
actually do all the development work themselves right now.

I'm wondering if this is more of an on-shoring move? Replacing some
nameless non-IBM off-shore development team?

Interesting article:

EXTRACT - [. . In order to pick up the pace of IBM i development, Big Blue
has enlisted the support of HelpSystems, with the goal of accelerating
enhancements to Rational Developer for i, PowerHA System Mirror for i, and
Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) on i. HelpSystems will take the
product enhancement development lead, while working with the existing team
in Rochester. IBM will continue to integrate and deliver these products
into the IBM i operating system.

The transition is under way. Roadmaps are being discussed. IBM and
HelpSystems are building the infrastructure and environments required for
co-development.

“We’ve taken over the source code from IBM and we are creating dedicated
teams to accelerate the enhancements . . ]

Edmund, Eric, Mike et al - what does the future hold ??
