Timing of banner

[Bob Rasmussen]

A user at a Windows PC uses our SSH client software (Anzio) to access a 
Linux sshd. User would like the banner from the server to display BEFORE 
entering a login name.

According to the SSH spec, this should be allowed. But the OpenSSH source 
seems to have specifically prevented this. Is there a good reason for 
this?
