No that it helps your support situation, but the core zSeries work was a 
skunkworks project - IBMers in Europe and some SuSE guys.

RedHat does a good packaging job - but my impression is that they are patch 
integrators on 390/z - not patch creators.

It's worth investigating SuSE for comparative platform support- that certainly 
seems to be IBM's preferred route on the VMs:
