Well, maybe we should have tried to define 2 new levels of HIPER (and this is NOT an official statement from IBM on the subject) :
Halfway HIPER (H2 APAR's) These are HIPER APAR's that are not a concern to every z/VM user (HIPER only if you meet some certain condition), and in that case they will not be flagged for the RSU. HIPER Have to Have (H3 APAR's) You want it on your system no matter what, and it will be flagged for the RSU. Why do I suddenly feel like a little duck, slowly traveling along the top edge of a piece of plywood? Darn, clicking heels together did not change feeling! Scottie, if you can hear me, beam me up...

Not to shoot the messenger... but doesn't HIPER specifically stand for HIghly PERvasive? Now we (and new-to-IBM Linux customers) are expected to understand in IBM-speak that not only are Program Temporary Fixes not really temporary, but that HIghly PERvasive APARs are no longer PERvasive? <sigh> Maybe IBM needs HIPERS (which by definition are highly pervasive and belong on RSUs - status unchanged), and NOPERs, which are NOt PERvasive APARs? Or LOPERS (LOwly PERvasive)? Or just HISUG (HIghly SUGGested), but not pervasive!? Or USSUS (USual SUSpects) APARs. Have fun. This is going to be an interesting thread. Glad I didn't leave for the weekend yet! :-) We're not in Kansas any more, Toto! We may be leaving a country where the English is the native language.
