Why would SUSE bother making a z package and installing it by default on SP4 I guess is my question?
The reason I care is because of the id. If it has some value, I'll go through the process of making it meet standards. I did look at removing it and apparently the current openCryptoki-64bit package (which we do use) has a dependency on it and claimed it would be downgraded. So I guess it stays and I do some work. Maybe it is some new secret squirrel HW since openCryptoki comes from IBM ...

Not to my knowledge, but based on recent trends in IBM's hardware development I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up in some future generation.
