   Still current, and the case is stronger now than in 2021.
   
   `wagon-ssh` is unchanged on this front:
   
   ```xml
   <groupId>com.jcraft</groupId>
   <artifactId>jsch</artifactId>
   <version>0.1.55</version>          <!-- last released 2018 -->
   ...
   <artifactId>jsch.agentproxy.connector-factory</artifactId>
   <version>0.0.9</version>
   ```
   
   The provider page says it is deprecated and will be removed in 4.0.0, and 
that could be read as a decision against doing anything here. It should not be, 
because 4.0.0 does not exist:
   
   - the last release is 3.5.3, and this branch is 3.5.4-SNAPSHOT;
   - `master` is 4.0.0-M1-SNAPSHOT and has never been tagged;
   - both a Maven 3.9.16 distribution and a build of Maven 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT 
bundle `wagon-*` at **3.5.3**.
   
   So the line that ships is 3.x, it is expected to stay for the time being, 
and it carries an SSH stack whose upstream stopped releasing eight years ago. 
That is a maintenance risk independent of whatever 4.0.0 eventually does.
   
   Worth considering together with #503, which reports SSH agent authentication 
broken since 2.10 and sits on `jsch.agentproxy` 0.0.9 — the same unmaintained 
corner.
