- Eventually. 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 may have the new automount in it. the 3.1
- patch was unofficial. 3.1.9, I think, should have the correct
- automount shipped intact.
-
- 3.2.1 is really 3.2 with a collection of PTF's on top of it. So is
- 3.2.2. But at some point, there will be a NEW release shipped intact
- with no patches, (of as yet unspecified numbering. 3.2.x or 4.x or 5.x,
- i guess. i dunno.) And that release will eventually have Selective
- Enhancements on it too.
-
- It gets sorta complicated doesn't it?

- It's the same company, IBM.
