There are many, many clients out there. Many work with z/os, some don't. If you 
are in the position of supporting many different outside customers, you cringe 
at the thought of the calls demanding that your reboot z/os or fix z/os because 
their brand new software does not work right out of the box. 

It make some sense to have a list of products/versions known to work with z/os. 

For the case in point, one possible recourse is to simply delete that product 
from the 'approved' list. Enforcement is not that hard for company machines 
these days.
