Too long. Haha ;-D

Not us. (After I have looked one last time in our IEASYSxx members.

Yes, but never used that.

Yes. I'm also thinking of 'LNKLST ACTIVATE NAME(&SYSNAME)' in PROGxx beside APF 
FORMAT(DYNAMIC).

In fact we use in IEASYSxx this 

PROG=(A0,A1,L0,L1), keywords are as follow:

Sysplex wide APF, LPAR unique APF, Sysplex wide LNK, LPAR unique LNK. 
So, just one nice PROG with all and everything nicely lined up.

Do what you did for BPX.DEFAULT.USER, ISAM and COBOL statements. You just say 
you will support old feature x until z/OS <future release> while you have new 
feature z from z/OS <past release>.  

Make a official statement of direction that you will drop LNKLST=xx in a future 
release.
