I'll ignore the unfortunate fact that even many PTFs aren't "the perfect fix". But at least they are the intended fix. While each case may have to be evaluated separately,in Poughkeepsie at least, it is typically not the case that the ++APAR is a temporary fix. That might be more likely for a sev 1 APAR than an other, since it's even more important then to get the customer temporary relief from the problem being encountered. But in most cases in the areas in which I work, the ++APAR is the intended final fix.
