ISPF is required for
- RACF panels (if you want them)
- Tivoli zSecure
- DFSMS/VM panels (if you want them)

If you want ISPF to support these products and you are running on IFLs, a 
restricted-use Special Bid is available.  (General ISPF/PDF use is not 
permitted on IFLs, as that would be "traditional CMS" workload, not 
Linux.)
