I don't want to dispute your opinion... What it means is that the product
will not receive further improvements on that version.
It happens with all versions at some fixpack. You get full support in case
you find a problem or simply need help.
I really don't see any difference between this and the satus of HP-UX
11.23... supported, but with no improvements since they'll put the
improvements in 11.31 or next version...

Don't get me wrong... I just don't want other readers to get the idea that
with 11.50 they would not be able to open PMRs, get fixes etc. (or in
simple terms, get support).

Regards

Thanks!
