First of all, if we have to raise the SDK we lose 10% of potential users, but make a feature work for 90% of the users. So for sure worth a second thought. Secondly, we would not necessarily have to raise min SDK, in Android we can write the code in a way that methods check for what API level they are. Of course the latter is more work.

I don't see where in SimpleSftServer.java that would be possible. From my point of view that can only happen in the sshd-core code.

That's of course okay, thanks for all your insights that has been really helpful.
