I would be that Larry will roll a 390 client if someone can give him the
right bits (or explain hercules 8)). The big difference really is that
IBM release tested patches to recent releases, and don't always
integrate them or track current kernels (and Im sure there is good
business sense in bits of that decision).

Delegation works better. You know S/390 better for example.

I can't speak for Marcelo but I certainly preferred having non x86 stuff
come from someone who had merged it with the latest code, run it and
thinks it works, than to do it myself.
