Stabilized Liberty features and feature capabilities
If a feature or feature capability is stabilized, IBM® does not currently plan any further enhancements to the feature or feature capability, and future investment will be focused on the strategic alternative.
You do not need to change any of your existing applications and scripts that use a stabilized feature or feature capability. If a strategic alternative is available, consider using it for new applications.
