I know someone who got hired recently to get PDP11 software running in an emulator to control an industrial process.

I expect that to happen to /360 as well (there's more than one emulator; there's even support for the old consoles), but the hardware will be gone. And --in case of the JPEG2000-- once x86 is gone, it'll be an old decoder running on an old, unsupported OS running on unmaintained VM software running on a hardware emulator (which will also have a limited support). Not a great outlook.
