When SLES11 SP3 was under development, I questioned the inclusion of trousers on System z. The response I got from IBM (who requested it) was: "trousers should be shipped across all architectures. The library component of trousers the ability to communicate with daemons running on remote machines and also contain routines useful without connecting to a daemon, so even platforms that currently don't have TPMs will benefit."
