There *was* more to the story.... The PE list in OA14708 today includes all affected PTFs and the AI information (which was only on *some* of the PTFs) has now been deleted. In addition, under 'additional symptoms' OA14708 describes the aspect of the problem which was specific to HDS hardware.
Customers are now protected from inadvertently stumbling into this problem, assuming they get current holddata prior to APPLY. Thank you, IBM.
