+======================================================================
+
+In an ideal world, the developers would love to support every possible target
+system. Unfortunately, volunteer development time and access to non-mainstream
+platforms are limited, meaning that we can only fully support standard OpenSSH
+implementations such as those found on the average Linux distribution (as well
+as on Mac OS X and \*BSD.)
+
+Because of this, **we typically close bug reports for nonstandard SSH
+implementations**.
+
+However, **closed does not imply locked** - affected users can still post
+comments on such tickets - and **we will always consider actual patch
+submissions for these issues**, provided they can get +1s from similarly
+affected users and are proven to not break existing functionality.
