Thanks Carl. Unfortunately I won't be at SC17 this year but thankfully a
number of my colleagues will be so I'll send them with a list of
questions on my behalf :)

Hi Aaron,
I appreciate your care with this. The user group are the first users to be
briefed on this.
We're not quite ready to put more in writing just yet, however I will be at
SC17 and hope
to be able to do so at that time. (I'll also take any other questions that
people want to
ask, including "where's my RFE?"...)
I also want to add one note about the meaning of feature deprecation, because
it's not well
understood even within IBM: If we deprecate a feature with the next major
release it does
NOT mean we are dropping support there and then. It means we are announcing the
INTENTION
to drop support in some future release, and encourage you to (a) start making
plans on
migration to a supported alternative, and (b) chime in on what you need in
order to be
able to satisfactorily migrate if our proposed alternative is not adequate.

Hi All,
At the SSUG in NY there was mention of operating systems as well as
feature deprecations that would occur in the lifecycle of the next major
release of GPFS. I'm not sure if this is public knowledge yet so I
haven't mentioned specifics but given the proposed release time frame of
the next major release I thought customers may appreciate having access
to this information so they could provide feedback about the potential
impact to their environment if these deprecations do occur. Any chance
someone from IBM could provide specifics here so folks can chime in?
-Aaron
