--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
The version strings are used for compatibility to avoid bugs and/or
enable features on specific versions.  See compat.c for examples in the
OpenSSH client, but also consider that similar mechanisms likely exist
in other SSH implementations.

It is our opinion that removing the version strings will cause more
problems than it solves (if, indeed it solves any problems at all,
which we also doubt).
