That's exactly what I prefer.

/service has its own filesystem, used purely to hold the directory entries for 
IBM and non-IBM directories/objects, which are all stored in their own mounted 
filesystems.

Ant.

When it comes to IBM SMP/E managed parts, you change the DDDEF path by 
prefixing it with /service. So /bin becomes /service/bin. 
However, I see no reason why you cannot expand on that and build some 
subdirectories in /service, say /service/ibm/zos, /service/ibm/db2, 
/service/somevendor/someproduct, etc. as mount points for the corresponding 
service file systems. Then adjust the DDDEFs accordingly, or for non-SMP/E 
products adjust the install script, install job or whatever.
