IBM never - ISV often as some seen incapable of understanding any
request for *mainframe* updates.
We have licenses for some products on both big iron and toy server
boxes. Two ISVs have recently provided Windoze maint when asked for
z/OS.
I re-ordered and demanded 3490 so they might put some thought into it.
And they expect payment for (so called) support - sheesh.

There is also issues with getting holes punched in firewalls. My latest
attempt to download MXG failed as Barry now seems to use a different IP
than last time.
