IMO, as long as the user has to maintain the DCSS it will never catch on. The software vendor must decide what should/shouldn't go into the DCSS, not the sysprog. When you get a service update, the DCSS needs to be re-built automatically if the sysprog has configured its use. And I want to configure its use in only one place. I don't want to have to say 'yes' in File A, and then the name in File B, and for the system to load it in File C.
