SRB's were not meant for general application code.  Also, I hope nobody builds 
a quick and dirty SRB routine.  Those should be carefully constructed and 
tested.
If by quick and dirty you mean short lived, then yes, that was their original 
use case.  Some SRB routines today are much more robust and can do significant 
work, but that is what the z/IIP engines are for.

For application code, isn't this an integrity exposure?
