Comment 37 for bug 1873368

So, what's actually happening here? My understanding of the current state is that:
1) sshuttle 0.78.5-1ubuntu1 in focal-proposed introduces a regression in connecting to trusty hosts
2) There's a patch merged upstream which fixes that regression
3) There's a desire for an explicit policy on when SRUs can regress connecting to old hosts

It seems that since we don't currently have an exception to the normal “no regressions” policy for (3) that the thing to move this forward is for someone to fold in the fix in (2) and upload a new version that fixes this bug while *not* regressing the ability to connect to trusty hosts.
