IPL, no.  JES2 startup, no.   Printing - yes.

I haven't used the sysres version in many years since it doesn't include
any local FCBs / modifications.

What I do is copy new members from the IBM distributed version
to the "local" version each time I do an OS upgrade.  I haven't
seen anything new in quite a while.   Of course this won't replace
something that had maintenance, but unless I hear of a problem I don't
care.    There have been times (at other shops) where I did copy
with REPLACE and it overlayed like names (that were defined differently)
in the local imagelib.

What IBM really needs to do is support an imagelib concatenation
specification in the JES2 parms.
