FWIW, if you have a case where that PCSI dreck is most representative 
of the sort of cruft that can build up on many OpenVMS system disks, we 
have very different experiences — there's usually a whole lot more junk 
that's been incrementally added or tweaked over the years, and any 
available records of configuration controls and change details and 
rationales can be sparse at best.
