So Ted, how would you handle running many DB2 subsystems on the same MVS image? Require that they all do maintenance and version upgrades simultaneously? I think not.

It ensures everybody is running the same code. >and leaves operational holes particularly in TSO. Again, I disagree. If somebody changes the release, via new libraries, you can end up with a maintenance headache.
