@jpmens thank you for the write-up! This reminded me I had a todo item to start a "Call for WG Adoption" for the internet-draft that specifies the SSH certificate format! Now done :-) https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ssh/5WHJgASVjhX-ihyEx1Ats_1JaaY/

I wonder if any of your future posts will trigger todo items on my side haha

@jpmens Dear DP Mens, my name absolutely is not Rob.

@job a thousand excuses, and I cannot even blame autocorrect (vi doesn’t have it here). Also embarassing because I well know you’re Job.

Fixed and pushing as we speak!

@jpmens we J’s gotta stick together ;-)

@job Ja!
