> That will take effort and I bet leaving them in the code will take none. neither you nor I are maintainers of openssh, but with unit tests and configure options, this strikes me as a weird assumption to make. look, this comes up every time openssh removes support for some horribly broken crypto. "you're making my devices inaccessible, how could you!?" and the answer is always the same, 1. you're free to maintain a copy of the ssh client that supports your old devices. 2. you should be complaining to your hardware vendor, to whom you pay/paid actual money. as a thought experiment, imagine asking the chrome devs to keep supporting ssl v3 because some commercial appliance you run hasn't been updated in a decade. /rant _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
