AIX 5.2 End of Life

Hello, has anyone heard of plans to end of life AIX 5.2? We are currently a 5.2 shop and are bringing in some new servers and are debating using 5.3 on the new boxes. Also, does anyone know of a site or document that show all the advantages of 5.3 over 5.2? Such as better jfs2 support etc. Thanks in advance.

Yep, I saw that link but wasn't sure if end of support meant end of life. How about a document or site that compares AIX 5.2 with 5.3? I've searched but have been unable to locate anything. Thanks again.
