VM have always given me the same feeling of a smart design as e g
REXX do.

Both have serious warts.

Eeek!  :)

As it seems to fit well in the KISS principle that I try to follow.

Sometimes making a language or an OS too simple makes its use too
complicated.

Yes, but at least regarding REXX I haven't found any mentionable 
"wartifications".
Do You think of any specific points ?

But AFAICS IBM is "demounting" VM.

I can't see that happening, however much they might like to.

You could be right (in that there is no demounting), but I don't understand
why they would want to do that.
(I had the impression that there were very little support(ing developement) 
needed
for VM, especially compared to MVS.)
