Because developing for it (writing RPG II) is vastly different from 
using the existing stuff that you have and going forward from there for 
new projects.


That said, there have been PTF's released for v5r3 that were aimed 
specifically at the 36E so it's not like it's just something that can 
exist without IBM having to expend resources.
