VMFREM of the RSU PTF number wouldn't work if you ask me. The RSU PTF number is just an easy way to order the RSU by using the service ordering procedures. And, PUT2PROD, yes, that's the one I don't like: it makes that e.g. MAINT 190 and 490 become identical, there goes your fallback. I change the directory entry of MAINT (and friends) to make the 490 become 190, swap 193 with 493 etc.
