I don't agree. WTORs are an anachronism but SYSLOG is one of the best
things about z/OS systems. When you consider sophisticated modern tools
like Splunk and the ELK stack the syslog looks better than ever.

That's almost funny. Console output, and SYSLOG has been a complete
morass of feces for decades, and it continuously gets worse. A large
percentage of programmers seem to think every twitch and twiddle of
their precious program deserves to be announced via WTO (I call it
WTO diarrhea).
No one goes in there unless looking for something specific. And it
seems fairly unlikely to me that someone would go looking for
expiration warnings.

Hi All,
IMHO, console messages should be sufficient. Compuware, for example,
makes them hard to miss!
OTOH, the above depends on someone/something actually monitoring the
console. That’s something that seems to be going away, and I think that's just
plain wrong.
Thanks!
