His procedures will work on MVS/380 just
fine, even though the SYS1.MACLIB has
more stuff in it than z/OS.

No, if he wants to use the LG instruction,
and he has added that to a non-standard
library, then the assembly JCL, that uses
that non-standard library, will fail on a
standard z/OS system, and people will
be wondering why on earth he has used
a non-standard dataset when all his
program does is an LG.

And I saw mention that IBM originally developed
their operating system using US government
grants. What is wrong with basing a new
operating system on top of existing work? Do
you think I should instead have a "not
invented here" philosophy?

What is sacred is being able to do this:
