Any application, whether customer-owned, ISV-owned, or IBM-owned could be using this service (which has been in z/OS since z/OS 1.10). IBM has no idea what might fit into those first two categories. Thus I would think it would be in everyone's best interest to get this PTF and apply it, if for no other reason than to avoid having to figure out if you truly care. The IBM use in LE apparently is new with z/OS 2.1.
