User portion of the system library list

To list,

Many moons ago we installed MAPICS on the AS/400 and made AMFLIB, AMTLIB, and 
AMALIB part of the user portion of the system library list.  The thought behind 
this was that we use many programs that use the MAPICS files outside of the 
MAPICS system and did not want to have to qualify every file used.  This has 
worked well for us but we are now rethinking this and wondering if there is a 
better way to handle it.  Every user has a default menu that is not MAPICS and 
many users may never access MAPICS during the day, but will need to access 
MAPICS files.  We are in the process of going to release 7 and one of the steps 
in the migration process states that the MAPICS libraries should not be in the 
library list.  How are others handling this and what are our exposures?  

Thanks for your input.
