+1

- People who use SSH are expected to want security (which v1 doesn't
provide) - people wo actually don't want security, shouldn't have used
SSH in the first place, but could have used rsh, telnet, etc.

- Many distros shipped it anyway with v1 disabled.

- It's not removed from the code but just disabled at compile time, if
people really think they'd desperately need it, they can compile on
their own.


Good move!
