A new [Arch Linux](https://devtalk.com/arch-linux) blog post/announcement has been posted!

> [@](#):
>
> After upgrading to `openssh-9.8p1`, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections (see [https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/openssh/-/issues/5](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/openssh/-/issues/5)).  
> When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the sshd service using `systemctl try-restart sshd` right after upgrading.
> 
> We are evaluating the possibility to automatically apply a restart of the sshd service on upgrade in a future release of the openssh-9.8p1 package.
