Mike,

I have recent experience in changing QCRTAUT to *EXCLUDE, and with two notable
exceptions it has been a breeze.

The exceptions are device creation and message queue creation.  Because both 
QSYS
and QUSRSYS have been changed to *EXCLUDE, we have to manually authorize folks 
to
newly created device descriptions and their associated message queue's.  This is
not a big problem as there is the system has Authoroization Lists for both of
these object types.  We just have to remember to add newly created Device and
Message queue's to the list.

hth,

jte
