Just looks like it is announcing that z/OS PL/I 5.1 (and above?) will go
with the new "continuous delivery" that IBM is embracing instead of period
new releases.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing? All the major vendors have done the
same, MacOS, Windows etc. Not to mention the evergreen browsers. That
can be a very good thing
because you get automatic updates which developers can leverage to roll
out great new stuff.
For mainframes it's a huge paradigm shift. Mainframe customers value
stability and like to test on version boundaries. It will interesting to
see how this pans out.
