 Incidentally, that patch is a bit less intrusive now since some
 functionality has been merged upstream.

 patch is no longer being updated upstream (Debian)

 How did you came to this conclusion? Both Debian and RedHat/Fedora still
 very much maintain this patch, though RH/F has been slower to update to
 7.6p1 this time around. Not a real problem, since Debian had a 7.6p1
 version available and most of the changes between 7.5p1 and 7.6p1 relate
 to dropping SSH1 support.

 mainstream package (potential security issues).

 Yes, but it's still a default patch in a lot of distributions and its
 security track record is pretty good. Most CVEs revolved around RH-
 specific additions.

 Well, yeah, it's always a pain to update this stuff...
