In addition... their use is really single system in scope, so there is no real benefit to putting them in a usercat... even if you don't share a master catalog. Even if you still create new master catalogs when you upgrade the OS (which I don't know why anyone would do these days) you can still IPL with SMF not active and REPRO the MAN data sets from the old mastercat to the new one.
