Notification Of A New MCL Release (HMC/SE)

Would it be possible to get a notification when a new MCL Bundle has been released for HMC and SE Code for zSeries Mainframes?

This would save checking z15, z16, z17 and HMCs to see if there has been a new MCL Bundle released for anything.

The notice doesnt have to include what is in each bundle as thats already in CHCC anyway but if you subscribe to these device types (perhaps a zSeries HMC one is needed) then there could be an option to get them or not if you so choose. In a similar way to notices of problems or hipers get issued.

This would then prompt the customer to then go on to CHCC to review what the bundle is and what is included and then progress as required.
