It is clear that the HLASM publications budget is not luxurious, but that is of a piece with the fact that the HLASM is itself on a bare-subsistence budget.
It does not much interest IBM's management, I suspect because it is not the focus of 'interesting' activity. Moreover, it is not a profit center. It generates no identifiable revenue stream; it is instead 'given away' as a part of the operating system (which is of course paid for). Those of us who value it need to find ways to convey our sense of its importance to IBM's management.
