Some of this used to be more helpful for the suplex data sets that were tied to the hardware like the coupling facility stuff. And it comes into play when you restoring on hardware that you want to switch to a different data set and have it automatically come up. Brain cell too may have been lost in in the years but it was done because the Dr hardware was different than the production hardware. So we used the LPARNAME to help resolve the sysplex data sets by use of the CEC. At least that's how I think it used to work.
Me personally I never try to discount a symbol until I get stuck with having to use it.
