There is a school of thought that says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

While I have never had problems with IBMs PTFs, I do try to minimise the
number of changes I make to my system.

I accept that it is a good thing to be up to date with the Cum PTF packages,
it's like having your car serviced.  However, fiddling about with PTFs every
day/week whatever when you don't have a problem seems to be a bit over
zealous.

Kind regards,
