Rob:

It will be interesting to see what's included. The phrase 'other 
software' might be key.

Much of OS/400, i5/OS and IBM i supported software isn't exactly 
part of those. Nowadays, much is ported 'open source' kind of stuff. 
Some of the rest is necessary for communication/interaction with 
Windows.

Given the wide variety of software and the rapid pace of advancement 
-- PHP, MySQL, NetServer, SSL/TLS/etc., Apache, on and on -- maybe 2 
weeks is a long time.

I hope not. But it might depend on what all gets PTF'd.
