I disagree. Real competition is second hand market. You can buy small z/800
almost for peanuts (few k$, less than FLEX). It's definitely not obsoleted.
You can run any version of supported OSes, including future z/OS 1.10.
There are HW features available only on newer models, but it is irrelevant
for vast majority of ISVs.

AFAIK you can't licence the ADCD software package on these machines. Please
tell me if I'm wrong.
I don't know.
However I know guy, who owns 2 machines and run parallel sysplex. z/OS.e
He doesn't write any software <g>, he's HW broker.
According to him, it's cheaper than charlady.
More seriously, there are other licenses, like zNALC, and other
possibilities, like telecommuting to third party system, even dedicated
system (LPAR, VM guest).
However I agree, having FLEX as an option would be even better. And I
would love real HW competition! I mean big machines.
