I don't recall when the change occurred, but the OS/360 System Control
Blocks was not automatically generated. FWIW, automatic generation has
its advantages for the customer *IF* all of the relevant data are in
the mapping macros and the tools are properly written. However,
pointer diagrams have their uses and it's hard to see how you could
automatically generate those.

For me "forever" is longer than 20 years.
