If it moves the ssh utility out of the system so that the upgrade path is
via ports rather than build/install world then I'm for it.

Having OpenSSH in the source tree doesn't buy us anything over having it
in ports and managing our local patches in the projects/ CVS hierarchy.

I see no problem with having a set of 'default packages' installed by
sysinstall.
