The reason I implemented the patch is that Camellia is stronger than
AES if they are compared with a security margin.  I saw someone saying
Camellia is much faster than AES.  I should also say Camellia is
becoming familiar in FLOSS community; e.g. Linux, FreeBSD, GnuPG, and
so on.
It is true that implementing new cipher has a risk, but having an
alternate 128-bit block cipher for AES will reduce a risk in the
future.

According to Darren's suggestion, I will update my patch in a week.  I
will use #ifdef to enable users to disable Camellia.  I will change the
name from camellia128-cbc to camellia128-cbc at openssh.com.
