        without the need for SMF logstreams.
    2.  Additional support for Pervasive Encryption:
        - Auditing of Coupling Facility structures.
        - Additional support for key labels, in connection to
          DFHSM maintenance from 2018Q1 (APAR OA52810).
        - Additional data set encryption information from SMF
          record type 42.
        - Additional z Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT)
          information from SMF record type 119.
        - Additional support for Integrated Cryptographic Services
          Facility (ICSF); in particular, SMF record type 82-4x
          key lifecycle and usage records.
    3.  Additional support for multiple data set sensitivities.
