That's an absurd mis-characterisation of what I said. Perhaps you sent
your message in injudicious haste.
Damien said that he plans to remove support for DSS keys at some future
time. That will take effort and I bet leaving them in the code will
take none.
I'm saying, don't put in that effort because it will needlessly break
equipment. Deprecate it to all hell, but don't remove it. In no
possible way can that be conflated with me saying that openssh
maintainers have to support anybody's equipment.
