It may perhaps be time to restate the obvious. LINKLST has come to be used in situations remote from its original narrow focus, which was to improve real and virtual program-fetch performance from certain system datasets.
It does this well, but it was never intended that volatile program libraries---those some of the members of which are frequently replaced---be included in it. The natural, appropriate update time for LINKLST is IPL time, Some sysprogs in some shops may well be able to cheat on this in some situations; but the competence and judg[e]ment required to do so are personal; and these cheats should not be institutionalized; in particular, their use should never be delegated to people of 'junior understanding'. They should probably not even be talked about much. So far as I can judge from what has been posted here, the real problem is not an arcane, PDSE-related one. It is that some libraries that do not belong there have made their way into LINKLST.
