It is now 2008 and, per above link, the CSE de-lists certain HASH and
HMAC standards and algorithms, namely sha-1 is bumped to sha-224 (as a
minimum) including its downstream incorporations/reliances.

With regard to openBSD's the broad sheet of crypto software -- ssh in
particular but not just ssh -- in so far as I can see from userland (aka
a non-developer) the userland user-interface presently limits in places
to sha-1.

Not saying that oBSD is/isn't/should/shall be CSE compliant but rather
working from the premise that the CSE document is of merit and any such
de-listings are noteworthy, will the 2008 openBSD releases 4.3 and 4.4
include -- i.e. pace -- and make usable at the userland user-interface
levels (e.g. sshd_config > MACs, et al) the modern standards and
algorithms.

Of future note and reference, 2010 is a BIG transitional (de-listing)
year.

Thanks for all the awesome "stuff" and efforts.
