Shhhh! Developers might be listening!
More seriously, why would we wish to withdraw IEHPROGM? Think of how
many hundreds of thousands of times IEHPROGM might be imbedded in
people's production JCL. While I can't think of many good reasons (OK,
none at the moment) to write a *new* job using IEHPROGM, I'd hate to
make everyone convert their existing jobs to use alternative things by
removing it from z/OS.
Now, IEFBR14, on the other hand...
