Take that with the appropriate sized grain of salt, but more and more things are going to start showing up on Linux. Ubiquity and cost are good reasons to favor Linux as the server of choice for -managing- IT resources. CCL is just the tip of the iceberg. As Jim Porell says; z/OS is deaf and blind, but it's the best platform for secure data-intensive applications. Why should we bust our asses reinventing z/OS capabilities on Linux (or any other platform) and at the same time, why reinvent Linux on z/OS? Both have a role to play. They already work well together and together they are significantly greater than the sum of their parts.
