   ### Description
   
   Hello,
   
   is Mina or any contributor planning to work on adding the new OpenSSH 
protocol extension "strict-KEX" for mitigating Terrapin attacks?
   
   Also did somebody check for the counter overflow conditions mentioned in the 
advanced counter manupulation section of the paper?
   
   BTW: when implementing config options, I would do it like jssh which allows 
to define a "required" mode, so you can set up a listener which rejects any 
handshakes without this protection. (if you want to make "supported" 
configurable I dont care, seems to be not a big compat problem if implemented 
correctly)
   
   In addition to resetting the counters the strict mode probbaly also should 
reject the "filler" debug and ignore mesages - I hope PMC received detailed 
guidance from the Terrapin team?
   
   ### Motivation
   
   Users want to mitigate the new protocol attac which can only work if client 
and server are extended.
   
   ### Alternatives considered
   
   Turning off the ciphers is an interop problem.
   
   ### Additional context
