That might work. I tend to do this:

APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL)
APY(*PERM)
DELAYED(*YES)
Since the odds are likely that there will be some delayed PTF's anyway why
not just apply them all at IPL time with DELAYED(*YES)? That, and your
concerns about special instructions are greatly reduced. For example
"this is an immediate ptf but you do have to end all tcp and start it up
again". I've found that to be slightly disruptive to the users.

Now, the only time I do not use LICPGM(*ALL) is when there are vendor
applications which also use the PTF process and I do not want to
permanently apply them. For example, Domino. I routinely have to RMVPTF
any hot fixes applied to that before putting on an upgrade. So I never
want to perm apply those hotfixes.
Since I have Domino on a bulk of my lpars I have to break it down by
individual product more times than not.
