To me what would be more interesting would be some statistics on shops that migrated off the platform, and have since come back.

I doubt if after having gone thru the time and expense of converting to a unix or windows based platform, many would be willing to pay that time and expense again, to come back, even if the current platform left a lot to be desired.

Another statistic that would be interesting is how many tried to leave, and failed.

I wish IBM will publish the real number about the total number of customers
of MF in all world.
The reason is that the feeling is that many MF site shutdown MF site.
Publish the real number can support many of us who work and support
mainly the MF computers.

Why IBM manufacture new MF?
Because customers will buy them.
  OK.

Any new customers using MF or any increasing MF processing?
According to IBM, a total of 142-150 new customers since 2009.
  Workload growth rate of existing customers is averaging around 30% per
year.

  Using LINUX or ZOS?
