Are there any users potentially still using these utilities?
If so, then what must they do on upgrade to a Nevada-based release?
Does the upgrade process itself automatically adjust the print filters
to the new mechanism, or is there a document that explains the
necessary customer action?
If there's customer action required, is this something that customers
can do (prior to upgrade) on existing S10 and S9 systems when the EOF
notice is released? Or is it an upgrade-break-fix cycle?

Looks like this is:
EOF Notice - Patch/Micro release binding
Actual EOF - Minor release binding
