MODIFY VTAMOPTS XCFINIT / XCFGRPID

Curious as I had been looking throughout the knowledge center and online, and did not see anything, but was wondering if there is a way
to dynamically modify the VTAM start option of XCFINIT or even XCFGRPID using any command or the MODIFY VTAMOPTS syntax? I got an initial response saying that no, those parameters can not be modified. Submitting a request for the potential to have this ability added in a new release?

    Due to the dependencies on XCFINIT and XCFGRPID by both VTAM and the TCP/IP stack(s), and the relationships established at VTAM and stack initialization, this would be very difficult, problematic, and costly to implement. Therefore, this RFE is being rejected.
