Perhaps in a z/VM environment, but that's not completely true even there.  The 
ability to create multiple partitions with CDL is very useful.  Not _having_ to 
carve up specially sized minidisks saves a lot of human time and effort, and 
not wasting huge amounts of space in LPAR mode is very nice as well.
