I suspect the origin may be in a DB2 announcement that 12 will be the last "release" of DB2. And no, DB2 is not going away either. I am paraphrasing here, surely the Goo Gal can find you something authoritative, but they are going to incremental upgrades rather than "releases." These incremental upgrades will have numbers like 12.1 and 12.5 and 13.0, but there will be no big package "release."
That said, I have heard nothing similar for z/OS. I am nondisclosed and certainly cannot disclose any details, but I think I am on safe ground in saying that I have seen evidence that z/OS development continues.

I have a little birdy tweeting in my ear to the effect that "z/OS 2.2 is going to be the last version of z/OS".
