I'm not sure it's entirely a god thing to advertise the reliability of MPE.
Reliability by itself is not a selling argument. TCO is, but the
relationship between reliability and TCO is, at best, tenuous. Another
selling argument is price, but MPE has always been ill-positioned there,
though less severely in recent times.
And for those of us who were already there about 15 years ago, MPE has not
always been rock-stable. If it had been, I (among many others) would not
have had so much joy doing debug/dumpreading on such an intense scale.
