PTF's affecting system operation?

A customer tells me they haven't applied PTF's to their development
V5R2 S20 (sigh) in a year because they "don't want to affect the
testing environment".

I go back to the System/38 pre-announcement meetings as an IBM'er and
have never heard this prattle before.  We expect such behavior with
Windows (actually, it doesn't even take a service pack, it just takes
another keystroke) but not with OS/400.  And since it's my application
in the testing environment, I'm reasonably (as in as close to 100% as
possible) sure there's nothing application-dependent going on.

Is this a CYA crock or is there merit in the customer's statement?

Thanks,
Reeve
