Avoid lock table on full refresh process

We have been contracting the IIDR for z/OS a long time but just Q Replication was used until 2 months ago, so when we started to use the CDC for DB2 with target CDC Kafka in development environment we see that a lock table in source table is done when refresh command is executed on subscription. This is an important issue that can cause a big problem on production environment due to possibility of happen a lot of timeouts and unavailable resources. We know that Q Replication has the similar process to execute refresh but this kind of lock is not done diminishing the risk of outages on source environment. Another issue that we know that CDC for IDAA had the same issues on V3/V4 that was solved by IBM, why had CDC DB2 "pure" not this enhancements applied ?
