The mistake in the article was implying that zPrime moved work to IFLs when it 
moves work to zIIPs and zAAPs. The point I was making was that the article did 
not say that zPrime moves zOS work to Linux.

CIM is blurring the line by allowing zAAP work to move to zIIPs. Does this 
imply that zAAPs will become obsolete?
