Hi there!
   Thanks for the clarification, and apologies for the delay.  Below are the 
5-digit change numbers from Gerrit that we'd need to pull up to a stable branch 
in order to fully support AIX:

15107
15116
15110
15112
15113
15114
15108
15119
15118
15122
15144
15145
15143
15146
15142
15310
15311
15312

   Is there anything I can help do to get those incorporated into the next 
release?

   Thank you so much!

-Ben

The change number would be the 5-digit number from gerrit, but any of those
would work well enough to identify what you want.
