I think he was suggesting removing it from the sshd server, not
the client. You can always specify the protocol on the command
line with the client even if it didn't fall back... and again he's
suggesting it for the default configuration, you can always change
the configuration. I'm not necessarily for this change I just want
to be sure what change is being suggested :)
