I share your pessimism on this, we aren't going to have a z/OS (or a clone) to 
play with. IBM has made it clear enough - if you want to develop pay big buck 
or you can play with MVS 3.8 if you are just a hobbyist. I guess all that is 
left 
to hobbyists is to start hacking the guts of MVS 3.8  and bring it a little 
closer 
to the real thing. Say bigger address spaces.
Oh well ...
