This list is the minority of the people I talk to.  On an average day I
tend to deal with about 5 - 10 people between efnet irc, and other IM
style systems.  I consider this list to be technical enough to not
count them.

Funny how Debian is in the minority for -1/-2.  I checked around with
a few other vendors (including Redhat) and none of them felt it was
a requirement.

BTW I have looked at a lot of those reports in the past.  Majority of
the issues is because you people have taken it on yourself to set policy
(add -1/-2, no v1 in default support, add :: to ListenAddress, etc).  

The other group of them are extremely old (over a year plus) and most of them
(from skimming) were fixed and I doubt we saw a single bug request from
debian group.

Oh, lets not forget the silly ones like "sftp-server should be in /usr/lib"
persons' reasoning?  "Because it is only useful to sshd"... BAH!  WHY
the *HELL* would one put EXCUTABLES in /usr/lib?  WHEN did sftp-server,
ssh-askpass-gnome, etc become librariees?!

But I'm glad to see people with common sense to say no to -c none option.

Do you start to see my point?  HAVE you read them?  There are some pretty 
stupid/uninformed requests.

BTW.. I don't see -1/-2 request.

BTW2: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=51955&repeatmerged=yes
was fixed.  You can take it off your wishlist.
