It's also pretty funny to see a reversal of the old says when ssh-1
and ssh-2 were originally published, separately, and OpenSSH was able
to integrate the code bases to provide one set of binaries. Pulling
SSH-1 out of the server codebase is very sensible at this point. I'm
slightly concerned that people with older hardware, such as various
older firewalls, may find themselves with a problem.
