I agree completely, the APIs should be documented, if they want people 
to use them.  I would not accept patches from Apple that use unsupported
and undocumented API.  Your original comment sounded like you were
unsure if Apple were going to use BSM with OpenSSH, and I wanted to lay 
to rest any uncertainty in that area.
It would be great if OpenSSH could cooperate with Apple in incorporating
generic BSM support, but the hold up is more likely Apple cooperating
with OpenSSH in this regard.
