I fail to understand why anyone would find this "stunning." You
really didn't think IBM gave away every trade secret did you? When I
was at Intel they weren't giving out the chip masks for the
processors or their memory chips either. IBM also kept the
existence of the diagnose instruction hidden in obscure places for
many years before innocently admitting that it existed and was pretty powerful.

there has been the (confidential) architecture redbook (distributed in
red 3ring binders) ... implemented in (cp67/)CMS script file ... with
conditional formating to produce either the "princples of operation"
subset ... or the full (confidential) architecture redbook.
