That's such a useless statement when it comes to OpenSSH though. It's like saying I rode a bike for 23 years and it was fine until I tried to ride over a mountain.
This is frankly a stupid analogy. To use your analogy, so because your bike can't ride over a mountain, the one time you decided to ride over a mountain in 23 years, you conclude your trusty bike of 23 years is not good?
If it takes 23 years before software does something you don't expect it can't be that bad.
