This is off topic for this list and belongs on netbsd-users@.

I don't follow unable; you are free to install it wherever you want :)

Generally, release branches get bugfixes and sometimes new drivers, but stability is valued over freshness.  I do not expect openssh to be pulled up,

netbsd-9 has:  OpenSSH_8.0 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20220604-hpn13v14-lpk, OpenSSL 1.1.1t  7 Feb 2023
netbsd-10 has: OpenSSH_9.3 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20230725-hpn13v14-lpk, OpenSSL 3.0.9 30 May 2023

Are you implying that there are security problems or serious usability problems with 8.0?  Or simply that you'd like newer.

This is actually on topic :-)

If you want newer openssh, why haven't you?  Using pkgsrc to install newer and using it instead is the standard approach for people that want newer thing than their base system has, for a vast number of cases.
