Support for merging LPK and hpn-ssh into mainline openssh?

[Peter Lambrechtsen]

Hello

Are there plans to merge the hpn-ssh
(http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/) and the LPK
(http://code.google.com/p/openssh-lpk/) into the mainline openssh.

Adding lpk has been logged as a bug in bugzilla as

They are two patches that I always apply as the performance boost from
hpn-ssh is substantial to say the least, and centralisation of the
authorized_keys into a LDAP server is a very helpful way to manage the
authorized keys across a myriad of servers.

Is there any chance these patches could get included into mainline openssh?

Thanks

Peter
