Cliff, To add to this, the JDBC drivers for DB2 under z/VM are not being upgraded, either. This causes a problem with some 3rd party software connecting to the database.

One of the pros for running DB2 on zLinux is that the version of DB2 for zLinux is under active development by the IBM DB2 group and supports more features and capabilities than does the DB2 for z/VM. I think the DB2 for z/VM is basically in maintenance mode only these days.
