Which has nothing to do with what we're talking about: being able to run
the most current versions of SLES and RHEL on current machinery. The
cost of memory was never the reason for people not to move to zSeries.
That was just one component of the reason.

-snip-
Keep this in perspective please Mark. There are still _years_ of support
for s390 from both the vendors and IBM.
Existing customers have time to plan an upgrade to zSeries.
As I understand it, G5 and G6 hardware support ends the end of this
year. Therefore, only zSeries hardware will be within support, which
leads to the s390 code being let go. How long developers support it is
unknown, but users would be down to third-party hardware support, much
less software support.
