Then this one could have been changed on a release boundary. But again - if it is recommended to run with it on, then a poor default was probably chosen to begin with. And I do understand that defaults don't get changed lightly... especially if they may break something. I don't see that being an issue in this particular case. But defaults do get changed. Look at BLOCKTOKENSIZE for z/OS 1.7 vs. 1.8. After some user experiences I guess IBM realized the 1.7 default should be changed. But the comparison is a little different here because you could change the default in a parmlib member as opposed to having to issue an operator command post IPL.
