In this context, please dis-regard any work-in-progress you might see on SSHD issues - the new code is definitely *not* intended to be included in the up-coming release, so no need to wait for them.
One important item though - once we publish 2.2.0, we need to make sure that sshd-osgi sources JAR is also published. Note that there is a special Maven build sequence to build it (as part of the normal *mvn clean install*), we just need to make sure it is *deployed* on Maven Central (same as our other source JARs). Thanks, Lyor
