I had dinner with Jeff Nick (IBM Fellow for Z) back in ’99.  He shared that 
Open Edition was initially started to get Posix compliance in MVS as it was a 
requirement for Federal data centers to only support Posix compliant OS’.  I 
don’t think anyone envisioned the criticality of that new subsystem to the 
longevity of the z/OS platform.

I think the incorporation of containers in z/OS, zCX and K8s are the next 
revolution in z/OS.  

Long live z/OS.
