Don't *think* so. My (so to speak) program still works just fine.

I don't see that benefit.  If you now mark your program AC(0), it could call the
AC(1) IEBCOPY which would simply run unauthorized.  In fact, you would be 
relieved of the burden of coding to APF criteria.

OTOH, a vendor with a program which:

o Uses IEBCOPY

o Must be AC(1) for reasons not related to IEBCOPY

... is now impacted in that calling IEBCOPY causes his program to lose 
authorization/ ABEND/whatever.
