That's theory only.  Even when you know that a bunch of files must be
copied to implement a change, we find it helpful to run an additional
check to verify that is has been done completely (and when possible
have someone else do the check). I am sure many others also have a
program to compare two CP load maps and eyeball the differences before
an IPL (or after one that failed ;-)

I suppose it should not be that hard to include the relevant
information in the bootmap - say after the first word of 0 (or
whatever signals the loader the end of the list). And zipl -q could
retrieve that by reading the bootmap from the IPL records?
