That is amazing, thanks!  I would love to see their networking
patches upstreamed.  As far as disabling the crypto, it would be
nice if the insecure version built separate binaries.  mux-client(1)
and mux-server(1) anyone?

Would building such binaries from the same source tree be acceptable
to the OpenSSH maintainers?

Sincerely,
