All of the examples you quoted above are found in standard linux
distributions. Unlike... you know... "puttycyg". And, given the
problems we have with end-user ssh confusion now, I don't see any
reason to add another variation.
I was willing to consider MinTTY since people were raving about how nice
it was and I didn't think that Chuck was overly thrilled about
maintaining the windows-only version of rxvt. I haven't heard that
puttycyg offers superior linux-like ssh functionality to openssh.
But, as I said in the part that you snipped, I was expressing an
opinion. I would consider this to be Corinna's call.
But, since no one that I can remember has offered puttycyg as a
package the discussion is pretty pointless.
