Clarification appreciated.
So writing "z13/ 2018 (last IPL-in-31-bit-mode CPU)" could have
eliminated much source of confusion, and by implication indicate that a
31-bit Linux, the only 31-bit operating system directly supported in a
z13 LPAR, could at that point only be IPLed under z/VM. Any users of
31-bit Linux would either have to run z/VM or convert to a 64-bit Linux
in order to migrate beyond a z13..
