I have been looking at SHARE requirements for many years and I read
(between the lines?) almost exactly the opposite. When an IBM
development organization states:
"IBM intends to provide a solution."
That is precisely what they mean.
The later sentence:
"However IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a
solution will be provided."
means that circumstances beyond the developers' control, such as future
staffing or management changes, could hrow a "monkey wrench" into their
plans. As a software developer by trade, I completely understand that CYA.
