--- Comment #4 from Fabio <fabio.pedretti at unibs.it> ---
This is done in 8.3:

 * ssh(1), sshd(8): prefer to use chacha20 from libcrypto where
   possible instead of the (slower) portable C implementation included
   in OpenSSH.

However, AES ciphers are still a lot faster on AES acceletared
hardware, see bug #3194.
