I must say I find it truly inspiring to see this open attitude
in national organizations and big companies. :)

Since there was not much immediate interest I would suggest opening a
bug in the OpenSSH bug tracker at https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ so
that the patch is not forgotten in the mailing list archives.

Actually, it may be more appropriate to get a patch into the upstream
OpenBSD OpenSSH bug tracker so that not only -portable gets the new
cipher. The cipher seems to be license-compatible with OpenBSD,
right?


Thank you!
