Actually, you may be joking, but look at ppp/ppp/auth.c:

So it seems that while they are ignoring us, they might actually be
putting MPPE into the main ppp release.  Default ./configure activates
#define CHAPMS which brings in similar, but not quite the same config

Yeah, I know PPP guys won't be reading this, but I couldn't resist :)
