Server Administrator Going Away?

I thought I heard SA is being discontinued, is that true? That seems like a bad idea. I find it more accurate, informative and reliable than iDrac monitoring. I know that's the direction Dell has been pushing, but it's too clunky for prime time. Presumably it is due to the predominance of virtualization, but some of us still have a lot of physical servers.

It seems like Dell software development has gone downhill in general. Open Manage Enterprise is quite poor and seems like a step backwards from Essentials, even as simple as it was. Even firmware update software is obviously given minimal Q&A given the bad English contained.
