Though I thought I had heard a year ago, no more CDs/DVDs. At Share in 2012 I thought they said the z/OS V1.13 DVDs were the last ones to be produced.
Though I could have not heard that correctly.

For some strange reason, IBM only updates the online collection when they issue new CDs/DVDs for a new release of an operating system. That's why z/VSE and z/VM have newer shelves than z/OS.
