I didn't know why with Centos, Ubuntu, Debian I was having support in sftp for autocompletion and getting old commands. Then I found that openssh needs libedit support for that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=203009

Maybe we could enable it by default as it's not a big lib and, currently, is a bit hard to figure out that we need to enable that USE for getting the autocompletion working.

Thanks

It seems like a nice thing to enable by default.

My only hesitation is introducing a new default dependency to @system.
