Adding FBA support would be far easier than weaning z/OS from ECKD.
Provide a CI for BPAM, BSAM and QSAM, support VSAM use of FBA and most
applications would run unchanged.
Addmitably code that uses EXCP would be affected, and possibly code that
reads the VTOC. but I don't see that as a major obstacle.
