alt Hacker NewsOpenSSH is an OpenBSD project therefore I guess a Linux api isn't that interesting but I could be wrong ofc.

That's a good point. At least it would not be an entirely new idea. [1] Curious what reactions he received.

Once Linux implements it, I think odds are high that FreeBSD sooner or later does too. And maybe NetBSD and XNU/Darwin/macOS/iOS thereafter. And if they’ve all got it, that increases the odds that eventually OpenBSD also implements it. And if OpenBSD has the support in its kernel, then they might be willing to consider accepting code in OpenSSH which uses it. So OpenSSH supporting QUIC might eventually happen, but if it does, it is going to be some years away
