There was no change in this processing aside from, actually, detecting some
of the additional cases and issuing even more messages (some of these
messages might alert you that LLA will not function properly, for example).

Since the beginning of MVS, the only required LNKLST libraries were
SYS1.LINKLIB (and later MIGLIB and CSSLIB were added). No other library's
being missing caused anything more than a message.

I'm sure, given enough formal customer input, we would consider changing
the severity of the messages. We will not in all likelihood change to
require a response (though we could conceivably provide an option in PROGxx
that would ask "please issue WTOR for this case rather than just a WTO")

I'm a little confused about "unplanned outage".  This might depend on when
this was detected. It would not cause an "outage" in and of itself in all
likelihood. If it was long enough after the IPL completes to be truly an
outage, rather than a failed IPL, you could likely use dynamic LNKLSTto
make the missing library available.
