upload temp. asymmetric configuration in a Dual Leg config, to migrate one secondary DS8000 at a time

We currently have 3 DSS pairs GDPS METRO HS). We need to life cycle one pair and for this we would like to use for the time of migration the MTM3side solution.
All primary DSS are in Channelsubset 0 and the seconndary DSS are in Channelsubset 2!
The Aliases for the prim. DSS are in CSS 3 and for the sec. DSS in CSS 4.
We use GDPS 4.3

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won?t be pursued within our planning cycle.

    In 2022 we'll migrate from single DSS pair configurations to 2 DSS pair configurations.
    After this migration we face the same problem in the future probably.

    Hi,
    Given that the next DSS migration is not too fare away, I wonder what the state of consideration for this topic is? Will it be possible or not?
    Thanks for a quick update.
