We use "PP 5648-A25 IBM COBOL for OS/390 & VM 2.2.0", and "5668-910 IBM
OS PL/I OPTIMIZING COMPILER V2.R3.M0" -- but no VSAM.
After first copying "SEGBLIST EXC00000" as a backup to "SEGBLIST -EXC0000"
("Never change anything IBM sends you" without leaving a trail of bread
crumbs), I've been manually deleting CMSBAM and CMSDOS from "SEGBLIST
EXC00000" for ages. And then just manually purging their appropriate
NSSes. I also mark them "DELETED" in "SEGBLIST SEGDATA" -- there's a
VMFsomethingorother command to do that, but the upshot is:
...
:OBJNAME.CMSBAM :DEFPARMS.DELETED
....
:OBJNAME.CMSDOS :DEFPARMS.DELETED
...
:OBJNAME.DOSINST :DEFPARMS.DELETED
...
Again, no CMS VSAM other uses, and nothing has been complaining and they
never need to be re-built after service because they are not in the
SEGBLIST EXC00000" (he says without thoroughly looking through what he has
done for a long time). :-)

AFAIK, it really only affects people who need DOS/VS emulation or who
still care about CMS VSAM. Ordinary CMS and Linux use of VM really
doesn't invoke any of these segments in normal life.
Of course, if you still use any compilers other than C/C++ or VS Fortran
on CMS, you *do* care... *sigh*.
