Glad  that the  option is  being retained  as optional  but I  also look
forward to seeing the  rationale for this change. I for  one use the ~C,
not daily,  but often  enough that  I would have  noticed over  a longer
period of time because I don't run -current.

In my  particular scenario, I  often open  up long running  SSH sessions
that have tunnels  to other TCP/IP sessions (some  of them interactive),
and the  ability to add tunnels  dynamically means that I  don't have to
restart a bunch of interactive  sessions or interrupt other long-running
things over the tunnels. If I decide that the tunnel is something I want
to use long-term, I'll add it to ~/.ssh/config for future use.

Thanks,

Andy
