Since you already said it was a rhetorical question, you've had the appropriate response to it already ;-) The functional changes for CMS Pipelines appear in the Runtime Library that is available for anyone at http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/ The Runtime Library is highly compatible with the version shipped with CMS, but you can install them in parallel to avoid any concerns with z/VM's own (limited) use of Pipes. The amount of new function is rather impressive: http://www.rvdheij.nl/Presentations/2007-V65.pdf CMS indoor plumbing only gets bug fixes (very rare). VM development have rejected requests to pick up the functional enhancements from the plastic pipes. They even rejected the suggestion to ship the current Runtime Library with the product as an add-on. The only functional changes to the indoor plumbing are a few undocumented odd filter packages used by the install process. Sir Rob the Plumber
