He was referring to the following statement:
"The included IBM software products are provided for development purposes only
on
an as-is basis. No technical support or APAR/PTF deliverables are provided for
the
included software as listed in the Supporting Programs section of the product
license
with your purchase of the Rational Development and Test Environment for System
z."
The underlying operating system and middleware have been certified by IBM for
use on the RDz D&TE. It is obviously intended as a turn-key system that you
don't need to service with APARs/PTFs etc. (That way you can't introduce any new
problems either.) I have no idea how thorough IBM's certification process is,
but until this announcement RDz UT was still stuck on back-level z/OS because
the latest releases had not yet been certified.
