Hi Keith,
z/OS V2.5 is the last release that IBM will deliver JES3. That may also
be related to the separate Target Zone.

Thanks Paul.
We still need to have JES3 because as an ISV we do have to do some testing on a
JES3 system. It would probably be safer to change our cloning jobs rather than
ZONEMERGE the zones just in case an element with the same name as a JES3
element is added to z/OS.

- is licensed to maintain and enhance JES3. This is probably the reason for the SMP/E
split.
Note also that z/VSE is in a similar situation. As of June 1, 2021, 21st Century Software
Technologies, Inc. has a source code license agreement for z/VSE.

IBM is investing every thing in z/OS w/JES2, z/VM and z/Linux. z/VM only as far
as a hosting environment and no longer an application development / deployment
environment.
