No, they aren't.

Yes, that's it.

In principle the old SECSH WG mailing list is to be used for discussing
SSHv2 extensions.  We might want to create an @ietf.org list though,
though if the volume is low enough SAAG works for me.

As for SSHv2 and federation, I'd like to understand what functionality
is needed that using GSS/ABFAB can't provide.

Yes.

Hmm?  You mean ask an SSHv2 server to list its aliases?  And to give you
temporary redirects?
