In fact, it nothing new. It has taken place since z/990. I mean 0-CP machines for CF or IFL purposes.

BTW: IMHO it's the only way to get the price from the topic.

This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway.

I noticed in the announcement letter that there is a feature code 3400, "0-way 
processor  A00".  Is this simply a placeholder for customers wanting to buy the box 
strictly to run Linux (IFLs) on it?  Otherwise, what would be the purpose of buying a 
mainframe without any processors?

I ran into one of the hardware team in the hallway, and she confirmed
that this feature code is intended for those ordering IFL- and CF-only
machines.
