You metioned defects and memory leaks. In my world, that
answers your question. As far as I'm concerned, an abend is
easier to deal with than a run-away storage allocation routine.
I recognize that storage estimation is not easy and that each
product would have to have its own estimation technique. I also
accept that the estimates and techniques would be very rough.
Those are not valid excuses for suggesting REGION=0.
In addition, no 2 shops are likely to interpret REGION=0 the same
(unless they share exits) so a vendor suggesting REGION=0
doesn't really know what it is recommending. ("Somewhat
unlimited", I guess.)
