No, ssh v2 has been supported by openssh for years, but those new keepalive options have been added within the last like 6-8 months. > Of course, if you care about security, you'll be running a recent > version of the ssh server It's not that simple. If you care about security, you'll be running the last updated version from your vendor. This version may or may not include those new keepalive features. Some vendors don't just blindly update everything to the latest vanilla version (good thing too). In any case, protocol v1 should be disabled (as you said).
