    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    At this time, after reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, we have decided to reject it. The reason we are rejecting RFE ID 65688 is because given the current priorities and customers interest, we cannot in good faith get to this within 18 months. You are welcome to resubmit this RFE at a later date and we will reconsider.

    Thank you.
    Haley Fung - hfung@us.ibm.com
