RSCS and PVM don't add any safety to CSE beyond XLINK. XLINK is
enough. Many shops have done this.

Protecting some Linux disks with XLINK is enough at least to detect
the situation. If you protect all you can even prevent damage
completely. That's with components already part of your z/VM system.
Suggesting that people would need to get special bids for PVM and
license RSCS just scares them off and motivates them to walk around
with a loaded gun.
