This is one of the cases where the FC3 package doesn't actually work on FC4, though -- it'll break in an upgrade. I'd like to see it die in FC5 -- OpenSSH needs to completely provide the same functionality first though. OpenSSH doesn't yet have the capacity to automatically decide whether to be the 'master' and open the first connection, or whether to be the 'slave' and use an existing connection. Neither does it hold the connection open with a timeout. Not hard to fix -- but since fsh is only 161KiB, it hasn't been a huge priority. We don't gain much by dropping it, but I'd like to say in the release notes that it's deprecated, so that we can drop it from FC5. Although by FC5 we can just move it into Extras without too much upgrade pain anyway. -- dwmw2
