The truth is that we just got off of v1.4... Not because of the system

needed to go to v1.7 and to eliminate a double billing situation with 2
versions of CICS (v1.3 and v3.1). Now that we are done, the plan is to
go to v1.9 and in a couple of years go to v1.10 or v1.11 (depending on
how stable it is).
I'm just concerned that you're spending valuable time upgrading from an
unsupported release to a release that becomes unsupported exactly three
weeks from tomorrow...

He still has another year
My question is why waste the time/effort to go to from v1.4 to v1.7
only to get one year of support when going to v1.8 would seem to be
the same time/effort and would result in a number of years of
support. It is not as if v1.8 was bleeding edge and thus a larger
risk than v1.7.
