Shane - nothing vaporizes (forgive the liberties of the US spelling) when the 1.8 system joins the plex. What changes is the 'binding' between console id zero and some arbitrary 'first found' console in the sysplex. For some time now, you could assign MVS MASTER authority (distinct from SAF authority) to any console via CONSOLxx or VARY command. With 1.8 you can direct the console ID zero messages to the console(s) of your choice via the INTIDS attribute. This change levels the playing field (evens the pitch?) so that 'all master consoles are created equal'.
