Talk about a blanket generalization!    Ed, when was the last time you 
did any real work in MVS or worked with or in a company that
off shored any of their work?

And I don't know the specifics of this incident and haven't been following
it closely, but based on the CA-7 PTFs I saw released right afterwards
I would say the problem was related to the attempted upgrade (highly
doubtful that it was operators that attempted it) and backout coupled
with a CA-7 software issue that RBS couldn't have foreseen.
