Very true. Possibly something akin to what stops z/OS from running on an
IFL.

Yeah, but if they decided to go that way, you can bet that z/OS
and z/VM would stop running on Hercules immediately - something would be
built into the OCO IBM version to authenticate and license it.
Which would leave Herc exactly where it is a today - a super
cool place to run historical OS's and Linux. :)
