The scenario you describe involves GRS.

How? There is no interface for doing that. IBM could add an interface,
but it would have to be present in System B, not just in System A.

No; the new facility is in GRS and the Initiator only invokes it.

Without the fix, System B would not be able to correctly respond to
the downgrade message from System A.
