z/OS 7.1? I can't wait!

Interesting typo for what of course is really z/OS 1.7!
--
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...
