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.
