My shop is 24 hours every day of the year, leap or otherwise. We never close. Mainframe here is key to the customer support system, which is obligated to take and manage customer calls. Any day. Any time.
A few user catalogs are required as long as systems are active. So taking catalogs out of service means taking down all systems that share them. That means total outage, since rolling applications among sysplex members is precluded by loss of shared resources. Do we ever take all systems down? Sure, but that requires a business case presented to the Global Change Advisory Board and approval from top management. Here's my case: a few clunky old catalogs are causing me embarrassment among my professional peers, who are taking snide shots at me that make me feel like a high school schlub being dissed by the cool kids. Maybe not. . .
