M-a-n-y t-h-a-n-k-s !! This is what i was what i just tried to tell some, ahem,
colleagues (for lack of a more fitting term) after sitting through them showing us some copied marketing material (you probably know the type: "live update ability: AIX 7.1 no, AIX 7.2 yes", etc.. We don't even have LPM and we don't know what this "live update" is anyway, but we want the product with more bullets in the bullet list.) I am glad to see this my personal impression confirmed by someone else.
My personal impression (based only on my own experience) is that 7.2 is going to be similar to 5.2 (and 4.2.x before that): they changed many things in AIX back then and they are changing a lot of things now, It takes time for these new feature to mature and this is why i shy away from all the 7.2 TLs and use 7.1.x instead for now. I suppose once they bring AIX 7.3 (or however it will be named, maybe AIX 8) it will perhaps be with all these features
and stable too.
