Although it is far and few in between there have been code changes as a result of pub changes. BTW these code changes are NOT quick in coming (so do not hold your breath). Pub changes are usually the fastest, IMO.

Since the problem is lack of information in the message text about what went wrong, I do not see how a pub change can help. This is not a situation where the docs can be clearer about how to fix the problem but a situation where the information about what needs to be changed/removed to fix the problem is missing from the message text itself.

<sarcasm>
The only pub change I can think of that can be made is a statement in the message description that the code is broken since while it usually will tell you that something went wrong it does not bother to tell you WHAT went wrong and that the user must figure how to fix it without any additional help from IBM.
