    I could make use of a feature in openssh 6.1 and the latest version is now at 6.6. Why is the version distributed and supported so old ?

    6.1p1 might appear old vs 6.6p1 but it was released less than 2 years ago (August 28, 2012).

    Switching version require test cycle / regression tests so I would understand that IBM does not jump on each OpenSSH release.
