The latter, unfortunately. Given that the draft is a draft, and my patches have yet to be (and may never be) added to the core codebase, I've not tried to maintain backwards compatibility at this point. The changes affect userauth, rather than key exchange. So those who don't disable GSSAPI key exchange shouldn't see any compatibilty problems. Userauth will, however, fail. As I said, I hope that this will be the last patch that breaks backwards compatibility. > Where's the draft at wrt publication as an RFC? >From recent WG traffic I believe that there are a number of minor issues which will be resolved in the next revision.
