--- Comment #1 from Jitendra Sharma <jitendra.sha...@intel.com> ---
In the openssh mailing list already that discussion started,
https://lists.gt.net/openssh/dev/74450

Where it was suggested that it would be preferred to keep
sshkey_load_private() as a wrapper.

If this is the case could we explore if we could make
sshkey_load_private as a macro, so that its client users would not get
impacted and they will have this wrapper functionality available to
them.

If this idea seems ok, then could this approach be implemented like
below:
