Only major security/bug fixes are expected to be introduced. See this chart for more details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Product_life_cycle The version in CentOS 7 isn't simply the version from OpenSSH, many features and securify fixes have been backported in the past, so if there's something in particular you are looking for, please mention it. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
