Brian,
I had our security folk implement the default OMVS userid (Top Secret) on a
weekday afternoon nearly five years ago and it was a non-event (until recently
when they forgot they had done it and deleted it). The justification is
trivial--either do it once or do it for every userid since there's no way to
know who's going to need it.
I deem it somewhat less risky than 18 warm-to-simmering TCPIP PTFs.

One final update: This afternoon I tried to apply the fixing PTF. On my
system, APPLY CHECK GROUPEXTEND installed a total of 18 TCP/IP PTFs,
including two which are in "open" status (not generally available) and
which I had to get directly from TCP/IP Level 2. I'm now leaning towards
insisting that our security group define a default OMVS segment, as the 100
modules touched by the 18 PTFs seems way too big a change for a mid-week
installation.
