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.
