A vendor should certainly follow all published rules and guidelines for sysmods packaged for delivery to customers. But we're talking about customer generated usermods here: sysmods constructed to facilitate in-house management of other folks' products. While imaginative, clever ZAPs or updates that do nothing but set RMID are no more natural than UCLIN that accomplishes the same goal directly.

According to the latest z/OS Packaging Rules, SC23-3695-10, this is still frowned upon (Section 5.10), and Section 8 offers MCS alternatives.
