Replying to [comment:12 iamGavinJ]:
> Removing the launchd `-l` flag for ssh-agent, via the patch, has
completely broken my setup. I realise I'm likely in the minority by
configuring my own LaunchAgent plist, but having launchd control the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK is far superior when utilising the agent across multiple
apps (git/vscode/ssh), instead of now having to rely on shell startup
scripts.

Thanks for the perspective!
I am definitely OK with launchd and sandbox patches being reworked, but my
previous attempts to do so, were failures. Basically I got as far as
modifying the previous patches which would fail to apply entirely to the
10.p2 source.
My efforts should still be attached for reference here:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/72317 Unfortunately, while my reworked
patches did apply "cleanly" to the 10.0p2 source, the patched sources were
still breaking at compile time. ;-/
Rather than rollback to a previous version of OpenSSH, I think a better
course of action would be to rework my failed patch attempts? But I may
not be the right person for those fixes, given that I previously tried and
failed to make them work.
