IBM does that (at least with Node, Python, and Java) with separate options on the Licensed Program. Maybe not granular enough though?

So are you saying you want to patch the operating system for some users, or some jobs, but not for others on the same machine?
Aaron has already replied "yes", but let me express a similar idea, in
different terms:
To me, a lot of the PTFs we are talking about are NOT patches to the
operating system. They are just new applications, or fixes to
applications.
In the same way that you might have a test library and compile some
files and programs into that library, it would be nice to be able to
test different update levels of a given application in different
libraries.
Yes, you could use a separate LPAR, but in some cases that's a much
more heavyweight solution than what you're looking for, especially if
you need to set up a brand new one, when simply creating a new library
would have sufficed.
