I don't think so.
Or if you are right then there are some big issues in the next few
years that IBM's own products won't be able to support. As an example
IBM semi announced that "soon" there will be dynamic storage(DASD)
expansion and it will be done with volser (ex ABC001,ABC002 etc etc)
ie adding volsers without having to update the ACS routines and DFDSS
statements/ or DD JCL and this will apparently include DFHSM and any
other product that needs Backup/restore "generic" volsers.
DMS had this ability *LONG TIME AGO*. I don't see any issue about
integrity with items like that (in fact our DASD boss when the MSS
came in worked with the DMS people to support the concept of MVSGRP
in DMS, IBM never did it.

took so long.
Possible reasons: Backward compatibility issues? No business case
to catch up? Integrity issues?
