These are fix levels that are given only to one (or a small handful of)
customers who need an urgent fix for an APAR, and cannot wait for an
interim fix or fix pack. The packages receive no regression testing, and
thus are not considered ready for general availability to the public. Hence
they are of "limited availability", or "LA".

The 5.5.2.0 client is currently targeted for the end of March, but right
now it might very well be some time in early April. Note that this is only
our current target, not a firm commitment, and thus is subject to change at
IBM's discretion.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
