Capability to backout MQ CD releases / maintenance z/OS

In our regulated environment, it is not acceptable to adopt a 'fix forward' approach if maintenance or patches applied to infrastructure software such as MQ cause issues for our applications.

As a pre-requisite to obtaining internal approval to apply any software change, we need to demonstrate the capability to back out the work in case it causes an unexpected change in application behaviour (even if the ultimate resolution does not involve a change to IBM code). 

We would like to explore the MQ CD delivery model, but the inability to back off MQ CD software maintenance means it is not possible for us to do so.  Because a CD queue manager cannot be reverted to an earlier release level without rebuilding (cold starting) the queue manager, it becomes impractical to test that as a backout approach in our development environments, let alone obtain signoff to adopt such a method as a backout plan in production.

Please consider allowing reversion of fixes/maintenance on an MQ CD queue manager so that backout of an upgrade activity can be undertaken without having to cold start the queue manager. It would be acceptable to restrict the scope of the backout activity (for example, only allowing reversion by one level)
