    Thanks Robert,

    but is it just me, or is this page like this?

    There is a table ... but it looks empty.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    It's not just you.  But isn't half the fun speculating on what might go away?  SEU?  RPG/36 (wouldn't be the first time they tried)?

    @Michal Simanek You need to read that again.  This was talking about iNext, the release AFTER 7.6.

    5770-BR1, Java 11 and Power 9 stuff didn't even make it to 7.6.  All that was covered at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7183543

    Others,  just to be clear 5770-BR1 was replaced by 5770-BR2.
