I'm not aware of any changes there. We haven't touched any of the SSH
settings in a couple of years. So I assume both the ServerAliveInterval
and ServerAliveCountMax are using default values as provided by the OS.

We could of course make these configurable in the GUI and introduce
different defaults.

However: On my workstation I'm usually logged in by SSH on almost all my
servers all the time and these connections stay alive on their own for
days (sometimes weeks) until I either reboot the workstation or my ISP
has yet another outage.
