Thanks for your work on this topic. Indeed this seems a nice alternative
approach.

I don't feel confident enough to test incomplete openssh patches so I will
wait in case this is released at some point. I know it's not polite to ask
for release dates so I won't do it ;) but I will ask...do you expect to get
this patch merged upstream at some moment? I guess the right place to check
if this feature has been released would be
https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html , right? Or is there any pull
request somewhere which I can follow?

regards,
Pablo.
