List members, et alia: Indeed it is a rare occasion upon which I post to this list, however, in the instant case, I think it is warranted.
I have to admit I was overcome by laughter as I read the complaints of someone desiring that an old architecture be supported forever by software that is open source! I am not opposed to using old hardware (I have a TRS-80 Model I and Model III), but, the expectation that it will be supported forever by software developers is full on ludicrous. Moreover, OpenSSH is open source, and whilst you can ask others to add features so too can you add them yourself or you can pay someone to do so. There really is nothing here to cry or pish about. That said, I am not opposed in anyway to the idea of having a proposed "--legacy" option for OpenSSH. Frankly, for me, I use current software for things I am dependent upon or are related to systems I depend upon. Older software and operating systems are fine for hobbyist purposes.
