Am I the only one confused by today's HW withdrawal announcement letter 919-056? We had been advised that the z13 series would be withdrawn from marketing mid-year but the title and the body of this announcement appear to have quite a disconnect (like there's no mention of the z13). And unless I'm mistaken that's pretty much every z14 model being withdrawn - with no announced replacement. Anyone know more? Thanks.
Title of letter: Hardware withdrawal: IBM z13, IBM z13s, IBM z14, IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper, IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper II, IBM LinuxONE Emperor, and IBM LinuxONE Emperor II selected feature codes Body of letter: Effective April 2, 2019, IBM® will withdraw from marketing the select features listed in the Withdrawn products section.
