The client I was working at had a Systems Management team who covered all platforms, so inevitably focused mostly on x86 and *IX, and would not change the settings from the IBM recommendation (i.e. default) without the doc backing up their action. So we opened the PMR to get the doc updated, which took a few iterations. Good luck getting the code changed - I'm not currently in a position to add a vote to a requirement, or Interested Party to an APAR. I do think this will be a pervasive issue though.
