I may have told this story before. An auditor doing a JES2 review once called 
to say that a JES2 proclib was missing--not found on the system. Impossible, I 
said. Ouch! He was right. Turns out that a colleague had been requested by the 
'owner' of the proclib to remove it. So he did. Pure dumb luck that the error 
was caught before the next IPL. This was before the DSI option existed. 

I would not eliminate DSI. The modern solution is to have most of your proclibs 
dynamically allocated via the init deck rather than hard-coded in the JES2 
proc. That way you can at least IPL to fix a proclib problem.

Yes, we know the proclib-switch trick, but the problem is that one can forget 
to use it.
