Hi Bjoern,

We are currently targeting an updated automatic deployment package for
1H2016. Of course the usual caveats apply: this is not a formal commitment,
and information is subject to change at our discretion.

For your other questions and concerns in this thread: I appreciate the
feedback, but they are outside of my scope. If you need more information,
please direct these through your IBM account representative.

Best regards,

Andy
