Hello!
I believe that several Federal government agencies and too many state and
city government ones are still using S/370 based systems. 

But I was aware of those notes on the proper means to hack a VM/CMS setup
even before this list did so. And everyone is indeed correct about the fact
that they are collector's items because they reflect on the history of the
systems and software discussed here.

It wasn't all that long ago, 5-6 years that they moved our air traffic
control system off s/360 hardware.

links to it.  In the very first paragraph  (after the intro), they show a
line-mode log on to VM/370 and make reference to  43xx and 30xx processors. 
This material is 30+ years  old.
Brings back memories... ;-)   But I had to giggle even more today when 
I raid that the Dutch Railways are now planning for 2009 to move their 
traffic management system away from VAX/VMS.
