>From FreeBSD-SA-01:24.ssh.asc:

"If you are running sshd, disable the use of the SSH1 protocol in
OpenSSH.  SSH1 contains inherent protocol deficiencies and is not
recommended for use in high-security environments.  Note that some
third-party SSH clients are not capable of using the SSH2 protocol,
however the OpenSSH client (version 2.1 and later) included in FreeBSD
is SSH2-capable."

No, it doesn't matter to me, although all of our higher security boxes
have ssh1 turned off.

It does worry me that openssh still has a significant amount of ssh.com
v1.2.xx code in it. I'm sure it's been audited a number of times, but
problems have still cropped up in it recently...
