I found a small bug in QoS handling in the OpenSSH client under specific conditions. It had a big impact on my workflow but wasn’t a complete showstopper and might not have had an obvious impact on the broader user base. I raised an issue on the tracker and within a day I had a test build, a confirmed fix and a note of which release would carry the fix. It was one of the most positive experiences I’ve had reporting a bug, especially for a non-security issue.

I know this comment doesn’t add much to the conversation about this release, but I’m very grateful to Damien (who handled the issue) and the team for the wonderful job they’re doing on such a core piece of software.
