"just" implementing later sftp revisions means promising to support all the mandatory features in them, as well as providing compatibility for the current version. The sftp standardisation process was a trainwreck of accepting poorly- justified features that made the later versions of the protocol bloated and unwieldy. OpenSSH jumped off the train fairly early and have no desire to get back on it. So, we've been demonstrably willing to consider extensions that fill in missing information for _well-justified_ use-cases (e.g. the statvfs extension doesn't even exist in later filexfer drafts) , but have no desire to adopt the whole mess that protocol became. -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
