IBM's algorithmes of numbering products have always been a mistery, so we will not be surprised by whatever the name will be of z/OS 1.7's successor, maybe 7.1 -;). If so, considering the large jump in numbers, the jump in technology will be of the same magnitude, so I bet on a DVD incorporating microcode, operating system, DB2, IMS, Communication Server, etc. etc., all loaded into the HMC, activated by a single POR. All, of course, upgradable via concurrent, non-disruptive maintenance by IBM engineers. Disaster strikes at unexpected moments, we only have a couple of months to find new jobs...
