And what does "a significant CPU hit" mean for those of us who's 4HRA is 
already at the top of our machine's capacity?  That's where my concern is.  
Yeah, the money for increasing MSUs is gonna stink, but missing SLAs due to the 
box no longer being big enough is going to really bite.

Considering the inefficient exceution path, I wonder how much higher the CPU % 
will be for z/VM, z/OS, etc.
And more importantly, how it affects 4HRA, and $$$.

If there's a significant CPU hit, maybe shave some % off the top of the bill, 
after seeing before and after MSU numbers at each customer site?

IBM Security notification SN-2018-001 was updated yesterday with some Linux and 
z/VM info.  Further mitigation details for z/OS will be released as they become 
available.
