Both/and?

I used to work for a site that was rather static software-change wise.  Unless 
we needed to IPL for an upgrade or PTF install, the system got IPLed spring and 
fall at time change - namely because we had application software that couldn't 
handle the time change.  My current job we IPL monthly just to keep things 
cleaned up.

Is there currently a recommendation for a time period between IPLs of a system, 
both for cleanup and dynamic change validation, or is a "it depends" situation?
