We have a program that we run whenever we put on a new release.  It creates
a library called QSYSCHANGE which sits on top of QSYSLIBL with our changed
command defaults.

It creates another library, QSYSPRVCMD,  that is designed for developers
who specifically develop code for prior releases.  It duplicates every
command containing a TGTRLS parameter and changes that parameter to
TGTRLS(*PRV).  The library is AUT(*USE).  We then have a command that puts
this library on the top of QSYSLIBL using the CHGSYSLIBL command (the CPP
needs to adopt).  The philosophy seems to work perfectly.
