Pardon my immense ignorance, but how would such an obviously useful extension be a "serious integrity breach"? I just do not see the connection. A looping Rexx script submitting infinite new jobs would be just as much of an annoyance as a shell or perl script doing the same thing, but neither rises to the level of "integrity breach" as far as I can see; punishable programmer stupidity, yes, but not "integrity breach".
