--- Comment #11 from schmurfy at gmail.com ---
2009 ? This bug is rather young, I am sure at least 10 years is
mandatory to have something as complex as this integrated... There are
even patchs attached without even a comment on them.

As far as I can tell user interface is clearly not the focus of either
OpenSSL or OpenSSH, just take a look at the OpenSSL api if you need
convincing.

The funny thing is that if security is the concern here this is stupid
since users will do things that may open a real security risk instead
of relying on a proven built in Include which could just apply the same
rules it uses when loading the main ".ssh/config".

What is preventing this from getting in ???
This a really helpful feature if you want to work with generated files
without destroying you main config file.
