That's why I translate "specialty engines" as "castrated engines".
The only specialization is lack of some abilities, just to support one
workload, but not other. Everything behind is "sales peach" .
Big technical effort done to keep high prices on monopoly (MVS) market
and be make prices lower for competitive market (JAVA, Linux, etc.).
Disclaimer: It's not rant on IBM. It just proper understanding of
"specialty engines" and reasons why there are architected. Just observation.
