Ah, yes, that's it. So it is a change that *has* been made, not a *will* be made from Alan's list.

It uses some new instructions that are only on z10 and later.

The changes that will be made *only* to 6.1 are: - Support for z/VM participation in an ensemble managed by zManager on the z196 - FIPS-mode enablement of the SSL server and its attendant upgrades to System SSL and the Binder. All other SSL server enhancements will be on 5.4 as well. [This was the source of the confusion at SHARE.] Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
