FYI, starting with the z10s, it is entirely possible to run "temporarily" upgraded for pretty much as long as you want, you just need to refresh the OOCoD record every 6 months. Doing so allows you to turn the capacity back down whenever you want. Once you make it permanent, you can't (easily) turn it down.
Of course one will need to lock in the capacity before support for microcode upgrades are cut off--for the z10s, that's about 6 months away.
