He asked, nicely. He actually wrote the patch. And compatibility to a
quite popular and long lived distribution is a feature, not a bug.

I've myself tried to update OpenSSH for long-lived distributions like
RHEL. It can be a painful process, especially because OpenSSH is used
to manage other servers and can take out entire networks if
misapplied. And yes, been there, done that when someone demanded an
update without very thorough regression testing. Man, oh man, was I
glad I kept the active SSH connection open and was I glad that
restarting the daemon did not kill my active session on those!!!!
