Seems like a good if off the wall idea, so I posted it here.
Why not include extra capacity- say 10%- with every mainframe shipped, as a new workload sandbox? Just call it a slush fund for customers. Its effectively free money, off the books, to be applied to new workloads, for new developments. Don’t charge $125k for it.
