Hi there,
I just pushed openssh-7.2 update [1] into Fedora 23 testing. There are no
incompatible changes except these:
As I reported to the openssh-unix-dev list, as well as in
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/openssh-7.2p1-1.fc23,
this release silently removes the /usr/bin/slogin symlink pointing to
/usr/bin/ssh, because upstream removed the Makefile commands creating
it at install time.  Same for slogin.1 -> ssh.1.

This will break lots of installations (scripts, keyboard shortcuts, etc).

For the Cygwin distro I now added the missing rules to the spec file,
along the lines of

   cd ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin
   ln -s ./ssh.exe slogin
   cd ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/man/man1
   ln -s ./ssh.1 slogin.1

Please create slogin in the rpm spec file as well.
Thanks for the notice. My bad that I thought that symlink is just ancient stuff from old times. I will respin update with restored symlink for Fedora 23.

Do you think that we need to carry this symlink even to Fedora 24? Do you have some examples of scripts using slogin? They should probably also get fixed.

Upstream also probably didn't see it as a big deal:
