I guess IBM doesn't think they need version control anymore. Might that be why
we are seeing more problems lately?
IBM has been using Agile development for the past couple/few z/OS releases. I am
not aware that this development model has been blamed for any recent increase in
defects or if such an increase even exists.

I took the reference in the article to be simply a sales "plug" for IBM's
Rational Concert--their particular for-sale software life-cycle management tool
which supports Agile development.
