I didn't say that. I have no knowledge of it, but I am sure that more
involvement means either a higher probability or nearer :)

I have no idea, if I had known I would have told you.
Fact is that there is no mailinglist of CentOS on z-series, there is no
list of people interested in CentOS on z-series, nor is there a Special
Interest Group. (any of these would have helped immensely)
If nobody (of the people that are interested in z-series) takes
initiative, chances are that a year from now I have to answer the same
thing to a similar question.
And maybe there is more information than I have, but that surely is not in
the wiki and not publically available. (0 hits when looking for s390)
I know there is interest as on 2 occassions high profile
companies/organisations have come to me to ask about any progress and I
gave them the same answer:
``without involvement it is less likely anything will change''
