CX/ZOS Possibility to swap the logging so it is not increasing indefinitely

In CX/ZOS, the SYSLOG and other ddnames are increasing indefinitely. If they are Sysouts, which is convenient, this can cause Spool problems.
It would be great to have the possibility to swap them, as Z/OS
offers it for the ddnames JESMSGLG and JESYSMSG.
Actually, we are obliged to stop/start our CXs each week to close these sysouts.
IBM has promised that since the end of 2013 ("Swapping log feature, and centralized logging") but had never delivered it.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

That would allow us to not stop/start the CXs each week. So the service will not be interrupted.

    Thank you for opening this enhancement request with us. I have reviewed it and also looked for interest from our broader customer base. Unfortunately we haven't seen much interest from the broader market so I must decline this request to ensure we're utilizing our resources in the best way possible.

    Sincerely,
