I strongly agree.  There are many successful software firms that create
files and programs using standards that I would deem to be unacceptable.
Some create all files as LVLCHK(*NO), others create RPG programs as
IGNDECERR(*YES).  I know of one very successful firm that specifies that
all TPG programs be created as GENLVL(21).  They are probably too busy
spending their time porting their code to other platforms.
