We found a few quirks when I tried to write a bash program that
does for Linux what VMLINK does on CMS and we ended up
programming around the restrictions (e.g. reuse virtual
addresses after detach so that you don't waste minor numbers).
I understand the dynamic interface is not meant to be robust
and production quality but I believe this is important on VM.
Isn't importance of a feature something relative? I'm not
aware of an open discussion about Linux on zSeries development
or a request to prioritize line items.
