We have gotten in the habit of IPLing our z/VM and zLinux guests every Sunday 
during our standalone window.  With the window shrinking and the need for 24/7 
availability is it really necessary to IPL every week?  If not what potential 
problems could we run into by not doing the IPL (memory leaks, logs filling 
etc.).  This is in comparison to the Intel side of the shop (Red Hat, Windows) 
where they go months between IPLs.  The only benefit I see is the opportunity 
to recycle WMB execution groups.
