 Lost and over? I did not understand that quite right and I’m not so deep
 in it to sort out what to do.

 The situation is presently unchanged.

 I am not going to refactor the GSSAPI patch.

 It has been rejected by the upstream OpenSSH project for over two decades.

 The original GSSAPI patch author, Simon Wilkinson, has also abandoned the
 patch and http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/ currently redirects to
 something entirely unrelated (a stage lighting and design webpage related
 to his primary field of interest apparently).

 While I can and should probably follow Herby's recommended changes in the
 PR, I think I may also attempt to do some cleanup and remove the
 deprecated HPN patches from the files subdirectory, since they are also no
 longer in use by any current variants.

 I am not sure who the last port maintainer of OpenSSH was, but clearly the
 port has been left in a not so great state, my intention is to bring it
 closer to -current and in alignment with OpenBSD and OpenSSH's upstream
 branches, not maintain rejected, plausibly insecure patchsets for a
 limited subset of portable users.

 As suggested before, if you want that patchset to be brought up to date
 with 8.9p1, you are better off seeking out the individuals who originally
 attempted to maintain that patchset and variant, I will not be of much
 help.
