I am not sure if this is the best course.

There are other SSH drafts also in draft by other authors

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ssh-ext-info
  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rsa-dsa-sha2-256
  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bjh21-ssh-ed25519

which are working in this area of SSH already.

Coming up with RFC 4250bis, RFC 4242bis, RFC 4253bis, and RFC 4254bis
would be a lot of work and keeping them regularly updated would be
non-trivial.

I am open to suggestions for additions or changes to
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-baushke-ssh-dh-group-sha2 
as long as the ietf-SSH group wants that to happen.

Does any one else have any opinions on this topic?
