I have an open PMR on this and below is a response from IBM today 11/30. 
This was in response to a question regarding doing a V5R1 to V5R3 upgrade 
and the possible impact of this (my words) unstable CUME process.

"Kirk, 

 There will be some new instructions coming out  and the CUME will be 
respun (keeping same number however.  If, you are putting on the old 
revision of the CUME, it's recommended to load, and set the three pre-req 
PTF's for apply first (SI17595 MF36693 MF36564), then IPL to B side.  Then 
you can do the GO PTF Opt 8 for the CUME and groups, then IPL again. 

1.  load PTF SI17595 
2.  load PTF MF36693 
3.  load PTF MF36564 
4.  apply PTF SI17595 (*IMMED or delayed) 
5.  apply PTF MF36693 (*IMMED or delayed) 
6.  apply PTF MF36564 delayed 
7.  IPL to B side 
8.  GO PTF opt 8, loading and setting CUME and all groups 
9.  IPL 

The new instructions will have you do the above if you have the old respin 
of the CUME - while the new respin of the CUME will be more like the 
previous instructions, only work.  Let me know if you have any questions. 
The new CUME and instructions are planned to come out sometime this week. 
"

A follow-up with IBM on how I could tell if want version of C5298 I will 
have...
"Kirk, 

 I have not heard the specifics, but my understanding is that the new 
instructions will have a step for you to determine which spin level you 
have, but I don't know what that step is." 

Again I and others have had good luck (no problems) and some of us have 
had problems (me included) my suggestion is to wait a week or so and 
re-order if you can wait to install it.
