I have confidence that the bf patch is correct and appropriate and that buildworld is broken with various src.conf options. I am convinced my patch is correct, but I suspect that some might argue that it is not appropriate. It allows pam_ssh to be built even though WITHOUT_OPENSSH is specified. I will be happy to defend my patch, if challenged, but the short time until 8.0 makes it questionable as to whether a consensus can be reached in time. Whether you like my patch, I'd love to see the patch by bf (conf/137483) committed before 8.0 and I believe that you agree. If so, could you request the RE to approve it to be committed. -- R.
