--- Comment #2 from Jakub Jelen <jjelen at redhat.com> ---
Thank you for feedback. That was the reason why I started this
discussion on the mailing list whether the might be some other use
cases that we should consider when implementing this feature.

https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2020-August/038698.html

I see it is quite strictly tied to (proxy) commands, which is probably
fine (as we already have for example %T only for local commands). The
choice of whole command-line switch was for convenience as -4 and -6
are quite standard and there is usually no way how to express default
family choice (any/unspec) while checking various netcat
implementations. But if somebody can come with more suitable solution,
I am fine with that.

For the sssd use case mentioned on the mailing list, we are quite free
to use anything, for example some environment variable to pass this
information if it would be more suitable (but it would be useless for
netcat or other tools at this moment).
