So does this mean that the question has now become `do we want OpenSSH
in 4.0 (in the base system)'?  I'm just a newbie and an outside
observer.  Apparently, OpenSSH has been available as a port for a
while.  Do you think it would be useful to think about the hassle the
user has to go through to install OpenSSH?  Is it any more difficult
for the user when OpenSSH is a port?

(I gather that it is possible to use pkg_add to install parts of the
base system as well as pre-compiled ports.  So in general I might not
even know whether `pkg_add -r foo' installs a port or a part of the
base system?)

Feel free to ignore me if this was really stupid.
