The chronology doesn't support this. When Subversion 1.0 was released in 2004, OpenSSH had been defaulting to protocol v.2 for almost three years. git was first released two years later, at which time v.2 had been the default for over five years. Seriously, protocol 2 became the default in *2001* and the old protocol has been disabled for new sshd installs for the last eight years. If anything, we've moved way too slowly. > Can it wait until version 7, instead of being slipped into a minor > update? Our version number has been a simple counter for years; the first digit of the version has no significance beyond that. Distributions will make their own decisions about what to support and they already ship far more intrusive changes than flipping a configure switch. I hope they ship a "openssh-ssh1" package instead of just setting it back through. -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
