It sure doesn't make Tivoli look good to have major defects in just about
every new level made available to customers.  To put a software level onto
the FTP site and then have to withdraw it is more than embarassing.

I recall the VM product being in similar straits in the mid-80s, with
entrenched habits and procedures and attitudes creating perpetually
troublesome software.  Finally, IBM put a new product manager in place who
had vision and initiative: he completely turned things around.  That's what
TSM needs.  They still haven't learned that "same old" is no good.
