Cover letters? Who reviews those? Honestly I don't, unless I am trying
to put on an immediate PTF and I want to see if it has any special actions
I need to do if I apply it immediate instead of delayed.

Surely ordering *everything* just consumes time at the other end of the
process when you need to review all the cover letters of the PTFs you
don't
need.
What PTF's - and how many - are you seeing that are genuinely important
and
critical ?
Do they make it onto the next cume ?

It probably never will.
And, there are some reasons why not.
1 - Some PTF's control the way things work. Remember when WRKACTJOB was
changed to default to Activation Group but if you ordered a ptf it
the default behavior back to previous methods? Consider these togglereported.
switch PTF's.
2 - FUD. IBM came out with a PTF to fix an issue that only Rob
No one else has experienced this. Maybe Rob does something reallyunique.
Yes, IBM did good regression testing, etc. However they are loathe toMail
shotgun it to everyone unless
A) It is highly risky to NOT have it.
B) Numerous people requested it and it didn't kill them.

Many years ago, I had a DCR request for a possible new PTF order.
SF99712 - any PTF not part of any cum or group.
It never materialized.
Any thoughts from the group?
Thank You
