However, with IBM announcing there will be no new TR's out for IBM i 7.1,
and the rapidity that ciphers are being broken and having to come out with
new ciphers,
I question the validity of running 7.1 that long into the future.
As we all know that old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" no longer
applies because of all the security patches coming out.
There's already a list of ciphers available on 7.2 which aren't available
on 7.1.

As you can see by the "What's new" for 7.1 the ciphers were updated by a
TR. Of which IBM i 7.1 will get no newer ones.
Disclaimer: IBM could always come out with new ciphers in general PTF's
and whatnot. "Could" does not necessarily equal "will".
