more concise [info] phrasing for all #253

Open perkelix opened 6 months ago

perkelix commented 6 months ago

We currently have e.g.

-- [info] available since OpenSSH 6.5
`- [info] default cipher since OpenSSH 6.9

or

-- [info] available since OpenSSH 7.4, Dropbear SSH 2018.76
`- [info] default key exchange since OpenSSH 6.4

A more concise format would be:

-- [info] available since OpenSSH 6.5; default since OpenSSH 6.9

or

-- [info] available since OpenSSH 7.4, Dropbear SSH 2018.76; default since OpenSSH 6.4

Generally-speaking, long [info] lines should be avoided and instead refer to footnotes in # additonal info instead.

Is this the same as #202 ?

No, this one is a general request. Others are more specific.

I think this comes down to personal preference. My own preference is to leave it as-is, but perhaps we can let the community vote on this.

If anyone would like this change made, put a thumbs-up emoji on this comment. Otherwise, if you'd like the output format to remain as-is, put a thumbs-down emoji on this comment. Voting will remain open until Oct. 1 (for approximately 3 months). After that time, I'll follow whatever the community prefers.
