I would like for the OpenSSH developers to feel their work to support
FreeBSD is appreciated and needed. I don't *ever* like hearing "Oh, we
don't have to support that platform, they do things *their* way." because
everyone loses those optimizations. 8{( I also have AIX/NT/Linux machines
to interconnect, so I want a good common tool. That aside, I *like* the
change.
I'm also of the mind to watch the OpenSSH folks for a bit. Strong, open
cross-platform security is a very laudable and worthwhile goal and I see
what looks like a good start with wide support inclusive of FreeBSD.
Having never had contact with him, I can make no Theo-rhetorical comments
either. 8{) I've worked on teams with personality disorders and have seen
too many sides to given conversations to speculate.
