I firmly support the removal of SSHv1 from FreeBSD base.  OTOH, I realise
that there may be reasons why old equipment is retained far longer than
desirable and agree that SSHv1 has some benefits over TELNET.

My suggestion is that someone=E2=84=A2 who has a pressing need for a SSHv1 =
client
creates a net/ssh1 port (ie not in the "security" category) that installs a
client (only) that supports SSHv1 only, and comes with a big red flashing
"DANGER: INSECURE, DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING" warning.
