Sure.  I wouldn't really have a choice. Like I said,  I would provide a 
clist/exec to copy the profile of their choice (by prompting for an LPAR
name most likely so they don't have to type the entire name) to a
new shared profile. Since the logon clist would check for that first, those
that chose to do so would get the shared profile. Those that didn't would
get their old profiles.   Because of the new userid std / renames done 10
years ago, I already support logon clists that use a single name for the ISPF 
profile regardless of LPAR (under some of the old userid naming conventions).  
Those users have never been able to logon to more than one
LPAR at the same time. Also, those same users wouldn't have to change 
anything to get the new support.  Today when the try to logon to multiple LPARs,
(which they sometimes do accidentally), they actually can do it but get
stopped trying to get into ISPF because of their profile already being
in use.

Userid sensative? Well,  I suppose one could go back to using exit16
to do something based on userid (like I used to) if there was a userid 
naming standard. User customizable?  I wouldn't want that.  That would
be a nightmare for the dasd management team (SMS, HSM rules etc).
