smcli is supported two ways:
If you use it as part of the CMA that's shipped with z/VM, then we
support it via the normal z/VM support process (PMRs, APARs, etc).
If you get it from the open source community, then it's supported via
that community. You can use github issues to open problems, contribute
to the code yourself, etc. IBM is an active participant in that
community.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Emily Kate Hugenbruch

I see this in the append:
> smcli is supported.
But in an SR I have open, I see this:
> z/VM does not own or officially support the smcli function.
You can't have it both ways.
