They have a pull request open to rename it to “h3sh" - 
https://github.com/francoismichel/ssh3/pull/87

Hopefully sanity prevails there.  Cutting in the namespace line by stealing the 
next version number with zero backwards compatibility isn’t a great move to 
gain a user base.  Doing so with a security product is exponentially 
questionable.

I don't usually (ever?) pipe up with my other hat(s) on the
@openbsd.org lists -- but --

With my @debian.org hat on, I'll note that we[1] (and I think Fedora
too?) took issue with the name "ssh3", since it is not using (or even,
frankly, related to) the OpenSSH protocol. It'll parse a few OpenSSH
files, but I think that's about it.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and concept of rethinking
protocols and playing with concepts by publishing working code to
benchmark based on what we know now -- but it'd be nice to not add
confusion for our users (Oh, should I use ssh or ssh3, ssh3 must be
the new one!).

There was a short email thread about this topic on Debian lists for
interested folks, and an upstream bug that was opened to bikeshed the
name at https://github.com/francoismichel/ssh3/issues/79

  paultag

[1] for some limited value of "we", meaning, the people involved in
reviewing this package that hasn't been introduced to the distro yet,
not some project vote -- "we" here is consensus of a handful of
developers, not the project.

The concept of using udp (like wireguard and mosh) to get mobility
between networks seems nice, quic and tls1.3 also sounds ok in
themselves, but there might be some issue with the whole of the
internet services converging into "one ip and one usable port" even if
a machine may have tens of different services.
There is some similarity there with how Microsoft would stick all
services onto tcp/445 and then multiplex it on the server, and that
makes it weird in terms of wanting to firewall off one service but
allow other services to a wider range of clients.

I get that they are early in the process and all that, but it looks
like there will be a ton of moving parts on the server end to
accommodate this alongside with the web stuff, and this part is less
nice.

I'm not an ssh dev but it seems like it'd technically *work*, it's just cursed
as all hell.

I liked the ability to forward UDP packets as well, but that can be 
implemented in SSH itself, instead of adding another unnecessary layer.
