True. But can't I just do an updpgm with a new module to replace yours?
I guess the argument is that I'd need to know the signature which is
easier to know for a srvpgm than an embedded module.

Assuming the service program is not explicitly qualified in the program (i.e., using library list), putting a new service program higher on the library list is trivial and the easiest thing to do, imo.
Doing an UPDPGM could work assuming you had the authority. This, however, would probably leave incriminating tracks.
