Yes,  I recall trying to get my client to go to AIM 3 sometime around 2003,
but it had the same restriction then with shared UIDs and they didn't want
to do the remediation.

Yes, assuming you don't have the remediation issue my client has.  I haven't
looked at the doc in a while, but I think the AIM migration suggests IPLs 
between
certain steps or there could be problems with the unix mapping.  That will be a 
big problem for my client and defeats the purpose of 24 x 7 parallel sysplex
application availability since the RACF DB is a single shared resource.
