IMHO IBM should be interested in new customers. And should care about them.
However even old customers could gain some benefits from having "bulit
in driving system" for the installation. Or for DR.
A couple of months ago I worked with a guy bringing up z/OS at a new
site using standalone ICKDSF, DFDSS, and ZZSA to restore a few 3390's
created as a small system just for the move. There were problems with
TSO, and although ZZSA works great it was a bit too limited. So we
needed to ask for changes at the source z/OS site and a new set of tapes
shipped.
Maybe COD would have helped, but I don't know how to get it. I remember
looking at ShopZ but like John Eells mentioned today, it's not available
for internet delivery. I got the impression it was only shipped with
ServerPac but that was just me guessing.
