It was the last free release, and with the appropriate[1] free selectable
units was the base for MVS/SE2 and for MVS/SP[2].

[1] I remember SU64, but there were others required as well.

[2] Eventually MVS/SP became self-contained[3]; I don't recall whether
     that happened with MVS/XA or only with MVS/ESA.

[3] Well, you needed DFP or DFSMS after Version 1.
