Debian is known to have made similar monstrously stupid decisions.

For example, they patch OpenSSH source code in a way that makes defaults behave differently than upstream. In the name of backwards compatibility of course.

I assume this will continue until it doesn't anymore, and the only notification you shall receive from the ivory tower is a cryptic one-liner buried in a changelog somewhere.

Isn't it the same thing with the RedHat downstreams ? (Not necessarily OpenSSH but other packages)

IIRC RedHat do all sorts of things to keep their gov / corp customers happy, also usually in the name of backwards compatability, all of which then end up in the downstreams.
