Actually, no it's not. The answer would have just as forthcoming on those lists, but fewer people would have benefited from the answer. The odds are that more people on this list are going to be "introduced" to Linux on System z than anywhere else. From what we've seen at SHARE, System z Expo, and here, at some point most shops are at least looking at Linux (and z/VM), if only to figure out if it can be ignored because it's not a good fit for them. In those shops, it's the z/OS guy/gal that is most likely to get tagged for that job. That's the reason I (and a number of other people) subscribe to this list in the first place. We're not looking to learn more about z/OS (I already did that for 20+ years), but to be available to answer questions that come up here about Linux and z/VM. It's much better to receive a quick, accurate answer than to be told "go ask somewhere else" when we're all part of the same community. Now, more in depth questions should certainly go to those other lists, but high-level stuff like this is entirely appropriate here.
