If IBM de-emphasizes z/Linux, it would almost certainly be in favor of p/Architecture (and p/Linux) rather than in favor of z/OS (or z/VM).
As pure speculation... I would not be surprised to see mixed p/Arch-z/Arch sysplexes sharing high-powered hierarchal file systems (or raw files) using the coupling facility (NB... a raw file is a physical or logical file system partition with low-level access... somewhere between Media Manager and I/O driver level). -- John R.
