I looked back into work email from back then and I see where I made my
mistake. I had misread the 7.4 change where they added the option for allow
IPQoS=none , apparently my brain just skipped the word 'option', and it
stuck in my brain as the default behavior being 'none'. That's
embarrassing, thank you for correcting me.

I respectfully just don't agree on that. In my view, software should
default to not setting those bits to anything by default, but should have
configuration options that allow them to be set if required. Every network
is different, and making assumptions based on RFC SHOULD's is an
unfortunate choice.

You are entitled to that opinion, I just wanted to correct you that
this is not a change in OpenSSH behaviour from your point of view,
just different bits. For you it's business as usual.

I don't anticipate Internet users in general to be capable of
configuring QoS and I think they deserve reasonable defaults, and
those who understand what they want, can change those defaults. The
WLAN AP you shop from typical provider has QoS built-in, and it works
reasonably, with reasonable definition.
I wish we'd take it further, and give reasonable last mile QoS to
consumer, the 'small packets first in congestion' would on average
increase user experience significantly.
