True enough and at the same time  non-SMS PDSE support was
retrofitted all the way back to OS/390 V2R5. But hardly anyone
heard the message; we still get whines from customers when they
see a PDSE dataset requirement. Go figure.

Its fair to say IBM made a complete mess of PDSE and related
functionality and rollout. There were "marketing" reasons behind
a fair bit of what went on and we are still living with the 
fall out. <sigh>
