And the problem with simply killing the ssh client application is?

I think there's a significant amount of disagrement on this issue,
to say the least. With the core argument distilling to a question of
Integrity vs Convenience, I've got a hard time siding with Convenience.
SSH is not telnet, and I wouldn't like to see it twisted in a way
that is (clearly!) arguablya step backwards for Convenience sake.
