The last two bullets is basically how the VSAM_ALLOWUSERKEYCSA
check was
processed. It was shipped disabled and in z/OS 1.9 it is being shipped
enabled and the default is changing.

Peter,
This sounds like a natural flaw in the system. It would seem
reasonable to me that when such changes are made that they are
reasonably documented in the release guide. It also might be nice to
document (for instance: "See release guide about ...." in the install
bucket). There are so many points that need to be brought to the
sysprogs attention that at times you just get overloaded with
pertinent information that it is easy to over look such changes. I
would hope that the release guide would be the *1* place to go to get
that, but last minute additions should be documented in the install
bucket, I would hope. I have not installed a servpac in quite
sometime but the last time I did the info seemed (to me) scattered
and not always searchable. Or is if it were present, there was so
much information it got lost in the clutter.
Speaking of which, there might be an page or two added to the release
guide talking about "new function" apars or "doc" apars or other
avenues that IBM has added to the release. My gut feeling is that you
cannot document some change in behavior too much.
