The only part of the Fedora report which looks like an argument is this:
"the libssh2 library uses outdated cryptographic algorithms and lacks
important features, such as GSS-API authentication."
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f28/release-notes/sysadmin/Security/index.html)
Is this true, or more importantly, is it relevant?
