Vali,
..I wish Yamaha would update YEM so we could "LOCK" the LSB on 3rd party packs so they won't change if we delete them then Import them at a later time.

Joe, I think it will not be done ever. It is hard to know if some pack was loaded and deleted and reloaded. I can think about what you are trying to say, but I don't think it could be done.
Let's take a real example:
I load and 3rd party pack (named "X"). I use some voices from it in some styles, but for some reasons I will delete it and load another pack on the same LSB position (because I don't have LSB positions anymore - hard to happening, but suppose). What will happening with my styles? Will not play correctly anymore. Ok, let's say I will not use them anymore. After some months I realize I need those style and I have to load 3rd party pack again. (after I deleted some other packs, etc) . How do I know if that pack was loaded before? I (YEM) have to save a history with packs names or packs checksum or something like that? hmmm , hard to see it implemented in YEM
PS: A 3rd party pack, which uses MSB other than 62 and 63 has nothing to care about
they will take the same rules as Yamaha's packs, because if they don't uses MSB 62 or 63 it means they have already been "registered" in Yamaha's databases
PS2: I don't think Yamaha has been used even 30% of MSB-LSB combinations
PS3: While I pressed the preview button, I've saw rozi's post. I think they gived you an evasive response, which already you knew ... I think all of Yamaha users knows that if a voice is not present in a style/midi that means the voice is not present on the keyboard on the MSB-LSB-PC position set in style. This is an elementary thing (I think
). If you cannot find the MSB-LSB-PC on your keyboard, that means you have to install that voice by yourself, finding it on an extra pack. Of course, it may be that voice can not be found because it is a preset voice only, which is (for someone) a disaster, but you can try to make your own voice by finding samples on the internet and use YEM to build the voice.
Regards,
Vali
