z9 introduced these facilities:
• DAT-enhancement facility 2
• ETF2-enhancement facility
• ETF3-enhancement facility
• Extended-immediate facility
• HFP-unnormalized-extensions facility
• Message-security-assist extension 1
• Modified-CCW-indirect-data-addressing facility
• PER-3 facility
• Server-time-protocol facility
• Store-clock-fast facility
• Store-facility-list-extended facility:
• TOD-clock-steering facility

Extended-Immediate is nice.  I wonder if the clock 
facilities are the reason for the level set.

z20, yes.  z990, not so much.  And a big change with z996.
