Linux distributions (on all architectures) are usually built with the instruction set to the lowest model they support, otherwise they would require a multiple of currently needed resources for their infrastructure. The exception can be few of the vital libraries (glibc, openssl) and the kernel that existed in Fedora in i386 and i686 versions while the rest was i386. For RHEL >= 6 and Fedora >= 14 on system Z it's set to z9 or better. Other question is whether the new instructions are supported by the compiler/assembler toolset so user built applications can benefit from them.
