Is there a chance to see X509 support for openssh released in the next version ?
...Based on Romen Petrov patch http://www.roumenpetrov.info/openssh/
Thanks by advance,

This patch needs to be accepted upstream first. It's not the sort of
thing I would take as a distribution-specific patch.

Marking Won't Fix because I'm not going to fix it in Ubuntu, although if
it were accepted upstream I'd obviously be happy to include it.

Thanks for your quick reply.
What can I do to advice people upstream that it would be a need for companies ? for ubuntu-server basically. Is there a way to package it as as an optional extention of openssh for exemple ?
Thank you again,
Regards.

I imagine that the upstream developers will be a lot more interested in
whether it's technically a good idea and maintainable, than whether
companies need it - that's the usual pattern.

You could build your own openssh packages with that patch applied,
perhaps in a PPA.
