APAR MA34542 refers to a problem that may crash the machine while it does a mini IPL to the A side to apply PTFs.

PTFs to prevent this problem for all releases from V520 upwards were recently hipered.

The PTF gets applied temporarily but the instructions mention that it needs to be applied permanently to have an effect (makes sense, since the problem it fixes happens during an A-side IPL).

What I don't understand is why this PTF, like so many others, doesn't get applied permanently automatically.

Any ideas?
