Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't it highly dangerous to assume just because CSA/ECSA is
"unowned" that it is also "unused" and not referenced by some address pointer

YES (or NO)! DO NOT free it, unless you are the next coming of Christ, and you
know!
I have been there! Don't do it! I could show you my scars from when we tried it
with OMEGAMON.
It worked the first time. We were down for a day the second time!

I too have been there and done that. There are products that will
allocate CSA/ECSA and go away, but not free up the storage. They re-use
it for other purposes.
Unless it has changed, TSO is this way. It used to be the 1st TSO user
allocates some CSA/ECSA that is not freed up when they logoff and is
re-used over and over. If you free this up, TSO stops working.
"unowed" is NOT the same as "unused".
