verify upgrade or downgrade for Firmware levels?

maybe ticket, maybe function?
When you use update, change LIC to a newer release and retrieve from IBM service web site, the selector shows only old LIC versions.

Is this meant to allow a downgrade, is this an error, or just a weird method of telling "there is no newer release"? (when checking on a 9009-41A running 940.00 (027)).
Crosschecking with a similar system running 930.00 (068), the only "upgrade" options shown are 910 levels...

    Hi,

    We had discussions with Holger over e-mail and there are enhancements planned for 950 which would simplify aspects of code update.

    Thanks.

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT
