[pca] Heads-up on patches 147440-16, 147440-17, 147441-16, 147441-17

[Don O'Malley]

Hi,

Quick update.

Patches 147440-16, 147440-17, 147441-16 & 147441-17 are in the process 
of being withdrawn from MOS.

I will share the accompanying SunAlert for the issue as soon as I get it.

This should read:
147440-15 (SPARC) and 147441-15 (x86) are the last known good revisions.

(Thanks Thomas!)
