No, it is just an preference to discuss something concrete (patches)
over pointless "OpenSSH should/shouldn't do this, OpenSSH developers are
misguided/dumb/eat babies because ..." arguments.

I never guaranteed that any patches would be accepted, but at least they
could advance this discussion to the point where it has the potential to
be productive.
