What does this last statement mean for VPL? We /must/ have access to VPL!

This is UNBELIEVABLE! I sent an IBMLink feedback asking for clarification about the withdrawal of VM Servicelink -- while indicating that access to VPL is mandatory. The response I got indicates we must now "build a case" for continued access to VPL!!!! See below:

Hi Ed,
Thanks for submitting the feedback.  I am looking into alternatives for
VPL.  The usage for VPL is very low.  How often do you use VPL?  Any
details you can provide me will be very helpful in building a case for
it.  ...Thanks again..  Mark Fyffe, SoftwareXcel Market Manager

VPL is mandatory! Removing VPL amounts to instantaneous conversion of all code to OCO overnight! This is just simply unacceptable! It cannot be allowed to happen!
