Technically, they didn't say AMI was definitely gone. Just that it is no longer included in the base MQ product for OS/390. Now OS/390 MQ users (like distributed users have been for a while) will have to download it separately as a support Pac.
I guess you could infer it is on its way out if IBM did that, especially when they asked for a show of hands of how many people were using it in a room of about 300-400, and 2 people (that I saw) raised their hand.
