Well, it's the kind of inheritance you see with a *very eager* heir of 
somebody rich, effectively shouting "gimme" ... ;-)

I'd be calling it a first-rate match for my request *if only* I weren't 
running Fedora 39:

while tags were introduced with 9.4 ... but I'll have a look at tags, 
and the OpenSSH versions other colleagues have at their disposal, for sure!
