ssh wish list?

I asked for x448 key exchange support in 2017, and even offered to
write the code for it.  The devs didn't want it, citing that they'd
rather add support quantum-resistant exchanges instead.  Eventually we
got sntrup761x25519-sha512 at openssh.com, which provides 128-bit of
symmetric security.

I'd like sntrup761x448-sha512 at openssh.com, which would provide ~256
bits of symmetric security.
