more concise phrasing for (kex) ext-info-s [info]
What we currently have:
(kex) ext-info-s -- [info] pseudo-algorithm that denotes the peer supports RFC8308 extensions
What I recommend instead:
(kex) ext-info-s -- [info] supports RFC8308 extensions
I think mentioning that ext-info-s is not a real key exchange algorithm is important. I don't know of a way to use less characters to convey the same level of meaning.
I don't see why that aspect is so important.
Bttw, according to this, support for ext-info-c was also added. Do we test for this?

Yes.
I think this comes down to personal preference. My own preference is to leave it as-is, but perhaps we can let the community vote on this.
If anyone would like this change made, put a thumbs-up emoji on this comment. Otherwise, if you'd like the output to remain as-is, put a thumbs-down emoji on this comment. Voting will remain open until Oct. 1 (for approximately 3 months). After that time, I'll follow whatever the community prefers.
