SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3

> Establishing a new session with SSHv2 can take 5 to 7 network round-trip times, which can easily be noticed by the user. SSH3 only needs 3 round-trip times. The keystroke latency in a running session is unchanged.

Bummer. From a user perspective, I don't see the appeal. Connection setup time has never been an annoyance for me.

SSH is battle-tested. This feels risky to trust, even whenever they end up declaring it production-ready.

If you are looking for a smoother UX: https://mosh.org/

Sadly this project looks dead.

Is it dead or just mature?

Mature should still be fixing bugs, which something like mosh is bound to always run into. From that perspective, it doesn't seem like it's just mature. There doesn't seem to be a clear all-in-one successor fork taking the reins either. E.g. https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/1339, as a random sample.

mosh is still included in the Fedora repository (and probably others, I didn't check)

major distros are maintained, and they wouldn't be shipping it if it had bugs and/or was being used as an exploit

Each distro package maintainer is always welcome to maintain patches in their forks for as long as they like, but the quality and life of each will be per distro as these efforts are coordinated with an upstream.

i was pointing out that saying the package is unmaintained is likely to be false. to add my comment to your comment, i would imagine that distros are not keeping important patches like security to themselves.

i.e. this package being somehow abandoned and therefore should not be trusted is likely to be false
