You're right that the user can certainly prevent the conflicts by making
sure his JCL always has a DISP=(OLD,DELETE).  However, since it does not
matter in an individual job, it's likely he has not done that or will make a
mistake at some time, causing unpredictable failures in the job if you were
to simply concatenate multiple jobs together..

And I think it would be difficult for the automated job submission tool to
find and correct this kind of error.
