All CP mods are supposed to be identified via the LOCALMOD command.  If 
SERVICE finds that there are CP local mods, then SERVICE will rebuild the 
nuc with those mods.  If the modules to which local mods apply are hit by 
IBM service, then SERVICE will warn you and stop.  After you have resolved 
any issues [obtained new mods to match the service level, rebuilt them 
yourself, or ignored it], you mark the mods as "serviced" and restart 
SERVICE.  SERVICE will rebuild the nuc with your text decks.

If you have CP mods that are not managed via LOCALMOD, then SERVICE won't 
know about them, won't monitor the RSU/COR service stream for potential 
conflicts, and won't pull in the text decks.
