> Leverage Windows crypto api’s instead of OpenSSL/LibreSSL and run as Windows Service

Was wondering about that. I'm surprised the OpenBSD team is accepting the commits - something so fundamental and Windows specific doesn't seem like their kind of thing - but great!

PS. If you're coming from a Unix background and interested in learning posh: https://certsimple.com/rosetta-stone

I suggest making Update update, ie lower case, I was confused as to why Windows Update was getting ssh

Or perhaps even "Update on OpenSSH for Windows", which eliminates that ambiguous structure and maintains headline capitalization.

I am waiting the moment when I can throw away WinRM and SSH to all the servers.

Hell yes. Watching packer shit a brick 5 times a day trying to upload virtualbox guest additions via WinRM makes me want this yesterday.

Also I had to up the memory ceiling on WinRM to 800Mb (WTF!) to even get it to complete.

Best way to address POSIX compatibility concerns is implementing a proper POSIX layer in Windows (and not in a half-baked manner like the now deprecated SUA). I can't imagine how it would hurt anybody.
