I've been expecting something like this for years, having seen first hand all the cuts EDS made to the mainframe support organizations _before_ being acquired by HP. I'm actually surprised it took this long. I guess the difference before was that we actually still had people working like crazy to keep things running, and now there simply aren't any in some locations.
