Question about ssh-add...

Evenin',

I would like to know, why "OpenSSH ssh-add" doesn't support the -p
(pipe) option of "Ssh-1.2.X shh-add"? I used it several time within
scripts, like

    ./whisperpassphrase | ssh-add -p

Well, I know this is some kind of security by obscurity, but this has
been proven to be handy.
