Yes, and that may not be the last of it.

I humbly suggest that folks stop mailing freebsd-security with these
OpenSSH issues.  It is just noise for most readers.  I will post as
fixes are incoporated into FreeBSD.

I more strongly suggest you stop mailing *me* about them :-)  I get
reports from the authors already-- it is somewhat distracting to
receive a dozen mostly-duplicate forwarded emails for each breaking
detail.

I always appreciate reports and do not usually mind duplicates-- I'd
rather hear about an issue many times than not at all.  But in this
specific case, I'm getting too much mail.

Cheers,
