Security software like openssh should always be kept up to date to fix issues 
and plug vulnerabilities which could allow yourself and your clients' systems to 
be compromised. Cygwin typically only provides and allows the current and two 
previous versions to be installed, in this case 8.4, 8.3, 8.2. Version 8.1 is 
over a year old and should no longer be used; see:

	https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html

If you are concerned about how this is managed by Cygwin, you should provide 
your own Cygwin package repository mirror, where you can control which packages 
and versions are provided and made available.
