... which says:

Internet download availability

   SMP/E V3.4 will not replace SMP/E 3.3 on the z/OS download Web site.

   SMP/E V3.3 will continue to be available on the Internet for download 
because it is
   the first SMP/E release to contain functional support required for the 
Internet
   delivery option of ServerPac.
   http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/downloads

   Product positioning

   SMP/E V3.4 is available under its own product number and also remains a base 
element
   of z/OS and z/OS.e. This allows customers who are licensed for a currently 
supported
   release of z/OS or z/OS.e to order and install the latest release of SMP/E 
without
   having to upgrade their entire operating system.

Does this mean it will be available at the same attractive price as SMP/E V3.3?
