Mostly, this is FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt).  PDSEs developed a bad 
reputation due to problems which have been correctly by service (which has 
been included in the base of the latest z/OS releases).  A bad reputation is 
difficult to fight off, especially when upper managements gets to have it's 
say.  There is no valid reason to avoid PDSEs today.  You still need to keep on 
top of your service, though.
