Others:

o At times I've needed to resort to PDS rather than PDSE because of
  cross-plex sharing constraints on PDSE.

o Does PDSE impose a stricter constraint on number of records in a
  single member than PDS?  Perhaps 16Mi?

o Could an installation convert *all* its PDS to PDSE and never deal
  with PDS again?  Is this precluded only by the scatter-load limitation?
  What abour PARMLIB-type data sets?

o A PDS with RECFM=U can contain both load modules and non-load
  module data members.  The analogous is not possible with PDSE.
