I find it vanishingly unlikely that FTP would go away or have its functionality 
significantly reduced.

As of z/OS V2R5 (I think that's right) FTP server no longer supports "internal" 
TLS. If you want TLS you will have to use AT-TLS to impose TLS, well, 
"transparently" (which is not a terribly bad thing). Perhaps that is what the 
speaker was referring to.

FWIW, "FTP" is actually two different and independent programs: FTP server and 
FTP client.
