I respectfully beg to differ gov'nor! 

IBM ships *most* source for z/VM.  Kudos! 

But page xi of the pub "GC24-6099-00 z/VM Guide for Automated Installation 
and Service Version 5 Release 1.0" (the most current I can find as of 
20070104) rightfully states:
o  PLX and Restricted Source no longer ship with z/VM. They are available 
upon request from IBM Resource Link?.

Minor point to anyone but those needing access to the lesser-frequented 
dark corners of z/VM.  But an important point of which to be aware when 
hunting unsuccessfully for the source to such a piece of the system.

Inquiries have been made to the IBMLink folks to find out how they would 
like to handle these concerns.

If anyone depends on VPL, note that it is going away, too.  We ship source 

anyway, so that shouldn't be too big of a problem for z/VM installations.
