    Document our long-standing workarounds policy.
    
    For years I've been following the principle that before I'll add
    auto-detection of an SSH server bug, I want the server maintainer to
    have fixed the bug, so that the list of affected version numbers
    triggering the workaround is complete, and to provide an incentive for
    implementations to gradually converge on rightness.
    
    *Finally*, I've got round to documenting that policy in public, for
    the Feedback page!
