Does anybody on here work with both Oracle and DB2?

I was wondering, merely for my own information (thankfully nobody has ever suggested this), if what Tom Kyte wrote many years ago is still applicable today
(http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:6495007510621886::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1886476148373)?

Specifically where he says:
"What DB2 do you use on all platforms? Answer -- none, they have different DB2's for different
architectures. (that report often seems to confuse things in DB2/OS390 with DB2/UDB -- "features
they've had for years", that OS390 -- UDB, totally different code base, totally different
architecture."

Has IBM improved this 'initial' flaw, or is this still an issue with DB2?
