I received following answer from Russ Boulay offlist on this issue. Might be
interesting for other users.
Rgds,
Dirk
Dirk,
>>The latest lifetime document shows the 51E's and D's have yet
to transition to the un-repairable state.
The table shows 51E's and 51D's have yet to even transition to LifeTime
Mar.06 and have no identified transition date to un-repairable. Which at
that time would make them unavailable for repair/MEP process.
The table shows the RED lifetime ending on Jan. 07 and some Jan. 08 followed
by an arrow. The arrow indicates "no identified transition date to next
phase."
That is only a drawing. They need to look at the dates that are displayed in
each horizontal bar, that corresponds to a product platform.
Matter of fact, the only machines that have transitioned to un-repairable
are 51A's and below.
