If history is any guide, Yes it will change. VM 5.1 is not supported on 31 bit machines. There is no longer any reason to keep 31 bit addressing in it. So, whenever any part is changed it will probably be changed to 64 bit addressing. Some parts of it will remain 31 bit addressing for a long time but the 31 bit parts will keep getting less and less all the time. When was the last of the 24 bit addressing changed to 31 bit?
In a recent Oracle 10g for Linux/390 class I took from IBM, I was told that VM 5.1 would begin to address this issue. So yes, the limitation is on it's way out. Now whether or not 5.1 will solve it completely or not, that I do not know yet. I'll check with the instructor (Dennis) to see if I might find out more.
