Enhances dropbear with a new feature "disable-weak-ciphers", on by default.
This feature disables all CBC, SHA1, and diffie-hellman group1 ciphers in

Disable this feature if you need to connect to the ssh server from older
clients.  Additional customization can be done with local_options.h as usual.

Changing the default behaviour in a stable series does not sound
appropriate to me.

Although this patch is for security, it is a config change and not a fix.  I understand if you don't want to add it to a release branch, and I am am okay with that.  I just want to know one way or the other.  If this is the answer, we'll put the patch into our downstream project (github.com/openbmc/openbmc branch=warrior) ... waiting for more opinions ....

Thanks!
