And by this, I hope you know what I mean. There is no way copying a file to the IFS can magically execute code on the System i under normal operation.

There are of course ways around that. Running non-secure environments such as PASE, especially running "industry standard" code with known exploits, can get around this. So I suppose as you start running non-native applications, there is more need for that sort of protection.
