    I do hate the name ssh3. I was glad to see this at the top of the repo:

    > SSH3 is probably going to change its name. It is still the SSH Connection Protocol (RFC4254) running on top of HTTP/3 Extended connect, but the required changes are heavy and too distant from the philosophy of popular SSH implementations to be considered for integration. The specification draft has already been renamed ("Remote Terminals over HTTP/3"), but we need some time to come up with a nice permanent name.

    SecureHyperTextShell (SHTS)

    I meant this in jest but now that I think about it, it actually could be a decent name (?)

    I think it's too similar to HSTS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Securi...

    remove the hyper text:

    SSHTP/3 "Secure Shell Transfer Protocol Version 3"

    or even:

    SSHP/3 "Secure Shell Protocol Version 3"

    pronounced: shoop

    You could say it was just for SHTS and giggles?
