For a long time it was (and I assume still is) IBM's policy that APARs 
are reports of "code defects" where the code does not correctly 
implement the design.  There was no such thing as a "design defect".
No matter how flawed the design, changing the design was viewed 
as an enhancement.   "Broken as Designed" was not an APARable
condition.

Luckily, some support teams are willing to bend that rule if the flaw
is really obvious.  It helps if desired behavior matches documented
behavior.
