Not DIRECTLY. The "Advanced Server" model has the same support model on both platforms. My point is that there IS another model for Intel, and they do supply RPM's that CAN be installed on the AS version IF YOU WANT. On 390, since nobody is even BUILDING new RPM's, you don't even have the option unless you build yourself.
