That leads to have single-alias catalogs.   <---- in limited cases, that's
fine.


Not to mention multi-level aliases.    <------ OK, so what's the problem? 



It can be effective, but need not to be. <------ There's no "one size fits
all" solution, in prnciple I agree with you.


Even your rule had an exception for bunch of TSO ID's.  <----- None that
come to mind but I admit the possibility.



My ROT is to document the changes and have ready to use tools to list 
the catalog HLQs, aliases to catalogs.   <------- Agree, we do al that. 


More flexibility, but still under 
control.     <--------- We have so much documented, in so many different
places, I have trouble finding it 

Last but not least: I think we all agree that KISS is still good rule.
<--------- Definitely agree !
