I completely agree the HOSTS table should be short. There are some
entries you can ONLY place there however for example the somewhat odd
'Anynet' names. DNS *IS* your friend.
As to your upgrade thoughts though the suggested method is IBM Supported
and I use it for more than half my hardware upgrades. It allows for much
lower downtime for the customer, testing on the new platform while the
old one stays in production, and no downtime lost upgrading the old one.
And in many cases these days the old system cannot be upgraded to a
level supporting the new system. Skipping a release is valid for many
customers. Do I recommend it for everyone? Nope - you should stay
current when you can - but each upgrade must be planned in the customers
environment to meet their requirements.

1 - Should your hosts file really have that many entries? There's a
concept called "DNS" for Domain Name Service - embrace it.
2 - Bwahaha (evil laugh). I was always concerned with these "let's
pretend we're still running an AS/400 and try skipping releases, on to a
new box" upgrades. I suggest you upgrade the older box to V6R1.
