and you reverted another commit related to openssh as well:

I don't doubt that reverting these commits was the right thing to do,
but it would be good to know _why_ they were reverted.  Can you provide
a link to a relevant discussion, or else explain it here?

In general, when reverting commits, I think it would be useful to
include an explanation in the commit log.  What do you think?

    Regards,
      Mark
