It'd be interesting to get comments from people involved as to why all the new
stuff was added, it's far enough in the past that I don't think it matters any
more if people comment on it.  The two major client and server
implementations, OpenSSH and Putty, don't do the stuff from the newer drafts,
and I know of several other implementations that also don't do it, so who/what
was driving it?

Hmm, interesting, hadn't heard that about the SSH WG specifically, although
I've heard it about one or two others.  So the SFTP work stopped because of
infighting, not because people lost interest/V3 was good enough?
