​Same here. Except, due to my Linux background, I have made _two_ changes.
I put one in the Sysplex root, to be used to mount a company (Sysplex wide)
filesystem for common files. The other is to create /usr/local in the
version root simply because _I_ am used to it​. Actually, /usr/local is not
a directory, but is a symlink to my "company wide" filesystem. Which gets a
bit "complicated" since I have a two system sysplex. /usr/local points to
/HealthMarkets/local . /HealthMarkets/local is another symlink with the
value of $SYSSYMR/local.&SYSNAME. This allows a "user local" which is
system specific. I guess this can be both good and bad. /usr/local/???
always points to the system specific version of a file. But I often need to
keep the two system local sets of files synchronized. I really which I had
git on z/OS.
