Rocket Software is a member of the open source community. If I had written that Statement of Direction I would have phrased it this way: "IBM intends to enable Python on z/OS together with other open source community members." Sometimes certain parts of IBM forget that IBM is among the biggest contributors to open source projects. That's unfortunate here; it's an important fact. Also, I wouldn't have used that "intends to enable" construction. Those points aside, hopefully you get the idea. My views are my own, of course. By the way, you don't have to wait for whatever IBM intends. Rocket Software offers Python for z/OS, and you can also run Python programs within the z/OS Container Extensions.
