 You should know, since the contents of this library can be used for
recovery in some cases (i.e. if you moved a pgm to production a "little too
soon".)

 With what?  During normal operations, QRPLOBJ behaves like a normal
library, w/ the same rules.

 While it is a "system" library, its function and behavior is fairly well
defined.  As such, the only objection I can see is the one Charlie
mentioned regarding security.

 As an aside, do you define your device descriptions in a user created
library or do you use QUSRSYS (which is a system library) like most shops?
