That is true that you can't remove a *PERM. That's why I wait until the next PTF install (or a couple of months running on *TEMP). By then, I'm comfortable that things are running OK and, if a defective PTF was found, it would have been found by someone and fixed.
I also never jump on the PTF releases right away (unless I need something). I like them to "age" a bit before I partake.

Roger,
Thanks. But what happens if later for some reason you need to remove a PTF? Rare, perhaps, but it could happen. And if I recall correctly, one cannot remove a permanently applied PTF.
I have heard that it's a good idea to perm apply before release upgrades. Not pressed for disk space right now (64% after downloading the groups and cume).

Jerry,
Here is what I use:
APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*YES) IPLAPY(*YES)
I always apply everything *PERM before doing the next set of groups, hipers, or cume.

Subject: How To Permanently Apply PTF's
I have a couple of PTF's that say that some preceding PTF's (which I already have installed) must be permanently applied. I don't recall ever permanently applying a PTF (at least not deliberately). Is it just a matter of running the APYPTF command
Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF)
Type choices, press Enter.
Product . . . . . . . . . . . . LICPGM
Release . . . . . . . . . . . . RLS *ONLY

IPL apply options: IPLAPY
Apply at unattended IPL . . . *YES
Prerequisite lic int code . . *APYPERM
Apply requisite PTFs . . . . . . APYREQ *NO
filling in the PTF numbers in the Select option and changing the Apy option to *Perm?
