I don't really know the answer. It was always surprising to me that
BookMaster and BookManager were owned by different functional organization
than DCF. I don't support those or know what their official status is.
For DCF, we do still fix defects. As far as I know, it is also still
possible to submit new requirements for DCF. All requests for new
function are processed through the marketing people. I think their
general mindset is "how many more licenses will it sell" when looking at
any request for new function. It's been a long time since we geared up
for a whole new release, but sometimes a new function was added by an
individual APAR. It's been a while since the last one of those too, but
nobody has told me it's impossible.

Yes, but aren't DCF, BookMaster and BookManager MVS all functionally
stabilized?
