openssh unix dev - Aug 2025 - Followup on Inquiry about regreSSHion postmortem

Ok I should be clearer here, yes there are merges, but explain to me how a merge
conflict would remove the two critical flags. I am not talking about surface
here. I am talking about a clear step by step analysis, that shows how the flags
got removed.

This is simply the way that cross-platform OpenSSH commits are done:

- they are first made to OpenBSD's CVS tree

- then they are later merged to openssh-portable git with an "upstream:
XX" comment and OpenBSD-Commit-ID line (with the RCS ID line synced with
that from the OpenBSD tree in the commit)

there is plenty of evidence of this, and nothing on the surface unusual
about this merge commit compared with others

Next thing you're going to ask for a full refund, I guess?

Rene,

You have already

- decided to not figure out how -portable merges are handled,
- written a long conclusion accusing malice

Now, after that long conclusion you have "questions" ?

I'm pretty sure nothing will change your mind.
