I don't speak for IBM, but I read the announcements to say:

- z/OS OpenSSH will be a base element in z/OS 2.2, not a separately
orderable product.   It says that it will initially be the same level as
IBM Ported Tools for z/OS 1.3 - OpenSSH, but IBM also makes a SOD about
future enhancements such as support for Kerberos (Windows domain SSO).

To your other question:

Co:Z SFTP uses z/OS OpenSSH for its secure SSH2 connection (whether you
call it IBM Ported Tools for z/OS 1.3 - OpenSSH, or whether you call it
z/OS OpenSSH (a base element of z/OS 2.2).

OpenSSH is an application that uses the z/OS TCP/IP stack.IBM did not
announce that z/OS Communications Server would include OpenSSH.

For more information on z/OS OpenSSH 1.3, see our SHARE presentation from
last week:

 z/OS V2.2 is planned to include OpenSSH 6.4p1. This is the same level of
 OpenSSH included in IBM Ported Tools V1.3.0 (5655-M23), announced in
 Software Announcement 215-009, dated January 14, 2015. OpenSSH is intended
 to provide encryption for remote login and file transfer. Also, IBM plans
 to provide future enhancements to the OpenSSH function included in z/OS
 (see the Statements of general direction section).

You've got the framing  reversed; some e-mail clients may have
trouble with that.

It did; even though you had format=flowed, it came out as multiple
