Until recently, the good reason was ASM's usage of Seldom Ending Channel Programs, but that is not valid anymore. If you want to know more about it, let me know. Now, like Mike's proposal, it can help you make life a little easier. PLPA can spill over to COMMON, but not vica versa. So if you want to manage space for both easily, you can do this by creating a small PLPA and a large COMMON, which has free space for both. With both a large PLPA and a COMMON, you must manage growth and free space for both. Not a very big issue, but just a little thing to make life somewhat easier.
