RE: Survey: STRTCP(*YES) or STRTCP(*NO) in IPL attributes

I found the definition of vanilla in Document Number: 454746342

Systems with tape libraries, Network Server Descriptions (NWSDs),
custom subsystems that are responsible for TCP applications, and
so on should not use the IPL Attributes.

In this day and age does anyone really have a "very vanilla

We do, at our prod machines internally and at all our customers machines.

 I spent a lot of time a few years back getting
STRTCP(*YES) to work properly so that it wasn't starting twice and
creating miscellaneous server conflicts.  I'm curious what everyone
else thinks and does.

We use STRTCP(*YES) at the around 100 machines that are under our control, and have never seen any issues with it. Or at least not in the past 4 years.
