It used to be the case that a root user, or a user with access to root, might 
be able to gain access to any resource, if there happened to be another user, 
with an OMVS segment, who had access to the resource. You might think that 
situation at least would be covered by the SOI, but there were some weasel 
words in the documentation about not allowing "privileged users" to have OMVS 
segments.

Given that those words are still in the documentation now, I suspect that 
situation has not changed.
