Only when basic sysplex does.   How do you expect people to run
CICS who are not running a || sysplex?  Not to mention other 
subsystems or z/OS components that do or will require logstreams.

You're missing the point.  As I said - logstream definitions are cumulative,
so you could have hundreds of members / jobs that need to be run in order
to delete / define them.   Even if they were all in a single place, it would be
difficult at best to make sure you ran them all or all the correct ones since
people tend to save backup members or test members in a PDS.

No, but are all yours in a *single* library?  Each application could have their
own library where they keep such things.  That doesn't mean it isn't production
or kept in the proper place.   Like I said... it's not only the MVS guys that
define logstreams.  The CICS guys may keep their definitions in their own
library protected from me by RACF  (example only).
