You mean like VMS or OS/360... err.. I mean MVS... err.. I mean z/OS?
Don't understand why anyone would question something that has been running
successfully for years with no problems ...
When you're on an isolated system you can do that, but when you're having

software that has been running for many years successfully but is also
supported.
