Right.  If the price of an IFL did increase, and was then more expensive then a 
zAAP, why would IBM also change and let you use a zAAP in place of an IFL?  
They wouldn't.

1. IFL, zIIP, zAAP, & ICFs are all the same price. At least, they are in Canada.
2. zLINUX (any flavour) does not support any specialty engine except an IFL.

So, it's not a question of them 'letting you'.
