Probably true today.  On the other hand, they tend to be rebooted once a 
day rather than once a decade, so non-dynamic parameters can be tested.

I would really like the ability to do an upgrade to the OS without 
affecting any customized settings.  One has to jump through hoops to do 
it, and after the upgrade look for more hoops for next time.  Making 
"official" a third (cluster-wide) translation to SYS$SYSROOT between 
SYS$SPECIFIC (for the local node) and SYS$COMMON (for all machines 
booting from this disk AND for all machines in the world) for 
cluster-specific stuff would go a long way to improving things in that 
area.
