The key length for blowfish is specified in the SSH protocol RFC. We
could change it by supporting a new cipher mode, but it would be a
non-standard extension. There isn't much point either: blowfish is
quite a bit slower than AES, AES has had far more cryptanalytic review,
and it supports up to 256-bit keys (which should be good enough for a
long, long time).
