I don't believe it ever was '2,1' in -STABLE. Some people may be misled by the fact that in the past there was a line like, # Protocol 2,1 In /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Notice it is commented out. ssh(1) still used protocol 1 by default. That is, the default was 'Protocol 1,2'. Changing it in -STABLE is considered too disruptive. Just imagine the flood of mail on this list if the change were to be made. -- Crist J.
