From the z/OS 1.11 Announcement Letter dated August 18, 2009
Statements of direction
IBM intends to provide the capability to deliver the z/OS Customized
Offerings (such as ServerPac, CBPDO, Customized Offerings Driver,
SystemPac®, ProductPac®) and service orders on DVD media. Though IBM
recommends using Internet delivery when ordering z/OS products or
service, eliminating tape handling, the option to specify DVD physical
delivery may provide an option for those who cannot accept Internet
delivery. See the previous stated direction to discontinue delivery of
software on 3480, 3480 Compressed (3480C), and 3490E tape media, as
announced in Software Announcement 208-186, dated August 05, 2008.
Don't know if this address the original concern though.
