Whereas I would prefer to have the entire concept vanish.  If something can 
only cause problems/confusion, there's no up side to keeping it.

There wouldn't be any failures if someone provides a portname in a parmfile, 
for instance.  The installer would ignore it as would the kernel.  As for being 
"an attribute of the OSA" I'm sure there are _plenty_ of other attributes that 
exist that people outside of IBM don't even know about.  If we can safely 
ignore those, then we can safely ignore this one.
