Didn't know that. I might also happen to us.

The other reason why I might want to get rid of a product is DASD space, 
especially on an ADCD system. We are not using BDT, either, and we won't need 
the many foreign fonts that will clutter up space on a 2.1 system. Did I 
mention that not everything is installed on an ADCD system, anyway? My 1.13 
ADCD system misses quite a few data sets that are supposed to be there 
(according to the program directory). My guess is those data sets were left out 
due to space considerations. But then, quite a few DLIBs don't have an entry in 
the target zone, either. SMP/E is a mess.

An ADCD system can have at the most 100 DASD volumes (that's pregenerated with 
the ADCD system). And the operating system comes on mod3's, so a lot of UCB's 
are taken for the ADCD system itself, not to mention the many page data sets 
required for z/OSMF and WAS. We are running happily on our RDT system using 
mod9's, but it takes time to copy everything over to the larger volumes.
