> You come off as combative when you dismiss valid, innocent questions as being "entitled" or attributing insinuations to GP that simply aren't there.
We've been over this. I disagree that there isn't insinuations or isn't entitlement in GP. It's okay to disagree.
> What good would that do? Would that enable the forker to voice their complaints about the original OpenSSH that's used by literally everyone else without people like you chiming in?
This can do a lot of good. This a solution to the problem that you have. If others agree with your critique and approach (which is likely), then they also will appreciate your project. This is how projects like Neovim started, and arguably why Neovim has been as successful as it is.
> By the by, is it at all relevant that OpenSSH development is funded by at least 1 non-profit and probably other sources as well? They're not volunteers.
I was under the impression that it was largely volunteer work, or at least, severely underpaid development which is pretty normal in the open source world. I will take your word on this one, I don't have the time to go look at non-profit financials.
> And even if they were volunteers, users are quite within their rights to voice concerns and criticisms about software in a constructive manner.
100% agree, the keywords being "constructive manner." Higher effort than nitpicking a commit and asking broad questions.
For what it's worth, I think you're probably doing more harm than good to the open source movement. Reconsider your approach, or focus it on the users who are actually acting entitled.
