Precisely!  Spot on, as usual.  I see no benefit in it.  Zero.  Sounds more 
like 
someone in ICF development needed to keep busy.

Not only would MOUNT require VOLSER support, but so would automount.  We 
automount-manage our /service directory due to our numerous SYSRES pairs, 
and this is the ONLY way we have found to ensure the correct version HFS' 
are mounted.  Considering the lengthy, nigh futile, discussions we had with 
L2/L3 on automount and /service, I doubt such support will be readily available 
and reliable.

I see no reason, barring IBM forcing the zFS conversion to an insane end, to 
convert my version HFS'.  We finally sorted through the last Java repackaging. 
It works, it's fine, please just leave it be.
