The IANA registries for SSH were established long ago when the fashion was to require an RFC to set any value (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8126/ for definitions of the various registry rules). IPsec, TLS, and others initially did the same thing, but have since backed down the high bar and gone to expert review for many if not all of their registries. Is there interest in reviewing the SSH registries to see if it makes sense to move them to expert review (or some other level)?
