One of the first things I have always done in a new installation was to get the 
permissions to define or change couple CDSs of any kind under the control of 
one department (mine) and one department only. If anyone else needed 
definitions, they should come to me/us and ask us. That is especially true for 
LOGR, where definitions are incremental. Should anything ever happen to the 
LOGR CDS, one wants one repository containing all (active) definitions to be 
able to rebuild the LOGR policy from one place without application failures. 

I remember quite a bit of resistance from the CICS guys when I switched them to 
the model definitions and took away their ability to define things left and 
right. 

And yes, the books are written by those that can and have done it themselves, 
without consideration for other departments/applications, much less for the 
overall picture.
