And because of the pricing of z/OS cycles, some managers are beginning
to forget their blue tattoos and switch to brand X backup/restore
products when they see that the zlinux TSM is still not as fully
featured as MAINFRAME software should be.
Tape management and shared drives have been such a basic feature of our
systems, why should distributed systems be so behind in their resource
management capabilities.

So TSM needs to change to become a real full-fledged MAINFRAME product.
I understand the point, but the z/OS version of TSM is the "mainframe"
version of the product. The Linux version of TSM is designed for
distributed systems. What you're asking for is a 3rd, "hybrid" version of
TSM that has one foot in each world.
(Don't get me wrong; I'm not criticizing the desire to have such a thing.)
