I don't think this is what we want.<br>
<br>
I do understand that complicated and non essential patches are too much work to maintain,<br>
but this is simple and essential IMO. Hope you agree.<br>

Remove most local modifications from OpenSSH.<br>
<br>
This primarily removes the HPN patches. It's become too cumbersome to<br>
maintain these patches as demonstrated by the fact that we haven't<br>
updated OpenSSH in quite some time. If people want additional<br>
functionality in their OpenSSH, it's available in dports<br>
(security/openssh).<br>
<br>
Instead of just silently ignoring removed options in people's<br>
configurations, I decided to treat these as errors so that the admin<br>
will need to decide to remove it from their configuration or install the<br>
dport to get the functionality back.<br>
