The ad strongly implies that it would impact a successful z/OS 2.3 migration.
I agree there is no formal support. That is also true for a lot of open source
software but because it is open source it is probably better supported than
some vendor software.

The ad does not say they won't work anymore; just that they are unsupported.
That is certainly a truism in any event for CBT software.
If you're planning a z/OS migration, your CBT STEPLIB facility and CA
TSOPLUS STEPLIB software is not supported, and won't easily transition to the
latest z/OS operating systems.

I don't know the answer, but I did notice that there is additional support for
RMODE(64) in z/OS 2.3. It is likely that some control blocks have changes to
allow for 64-bit addresses. It is possible that such changes could cause
problems.
