Maybe someone can answer the logic behind why it is
that Red Hat keeps patching against an old version of
OpenSSH, rather than completely updating it.
There have been three revisions to OpenSSH since the
version that Red Hat released with v7.3, yet they
continue to patch against version 3.1 rather than test
and release 3.4.
Even in Rawhide there is only version 3.1.
Patching against an "out dated " application rather
than releasing the newer version seems kind of
backwards to me. Maybe someone can explain the logic
behind this. I know alot of Red Hat employees lurk on
this list and unofficially answer questions from time
to time. I am hoping that one of them can give me an
answer.
Thank you.
