DB2 is also loaded into VSAM datasets. Also, don't forget the linear
datasets used by the OS.

VSAM's being obsolete is like saying TSO is obsolete. VSAM has been the
strategic access method of IBM since the mid-1970s. It underlies many other
structures that programmers also don't see, such as page data sets and catalogs,
without which z/OS will not run very well or long. A better term might be
"non-obvious".
