Typically, it is assigned to the Limited support tier three years later and to the End of Service support tier coterminous with the IBM z/OS release that was generally available at the time of GA. For a detailed explanation of the Full, Limited and End of Service support tiers, please review our Software Support Lifecycle Policy.

Some enhancements might, at PSI's option, be rolled back to the n-1 release.
