I note that the YAST module to manage sshd is missing - did I miss the
announcement of an intentional change in 13.1 or is this an oversight?

3.2. Dropped YaST ModulesThe following YaST modules were obsolete and rarely used these days:
yast2-autofs
yast2-dbus-client
yast2-dirinstall
yast2-fingerprint-reader
yast2-irda
yast2-mouse
yast2-phone-services
yast2-power-management
yast2-profile-manager
yast2-sshd
yast2-tv
The main reason for dropping was to decrease the maintenance effort and better focus on other more used modules.

Oh 
I’ll miss “yast2-mouse”.
Thanks for telling, I was about to create a bugzilla on it.

I don’t recall a survey being presented to determine this.

On the Factory mailing list, the YaST modules without maintainers were listed,
and we were told that if no one stepped forward, they would be dropped.
As very few people that only read the Forums are capable of doing that kind of
maintenance, was there any need to report here?
If you want one of these YaST modules to be retained, and you are willing to
assume the responsibility, then you need to step forward now.
It is interesting to read post of a lot of penguin experience stated from users :P.
I wish that you can come together and make 13.1 interesting for common use.
Me? I’m have done 3 migration to SuSE enteprise server in middle east and Europe last 10-years. A large of numbers of users.
I will continue to write and test as retired nowadays.
Best regards

Thank you - missed that (I mean, RTFM??? Who does that…).
Anyway, now I won’t enter a useless bug report and just find the appropriate
config file to edit.

Exactly. Often the last resort… 
Hopefully, we’ll get some community participation with those who can (and want to) help with supporting some of the beloved yast modules.
Who can also drop this documentation that encourages to use yast2-sshd: http://activedoc.opensuse.org/book/opensuse-security-guide/chapter-12-ssh-secure-network-operations#sec.ssh.yast
