It would appear that usefulness is in the eye of the beholder. If CICS is your main reason for running the OS and it's removed, the OS is not incapacitated. To me dropping CICS is like removing the spare tire from the trunk of your car. Your car still runs, but one of its pieces is missing, in a broad sense.
