Thanks for your reply. I totally accept your attitude from developer 
point of view. I wanted to gather some opinions from other people around 
openssh about this issue not to have it only as an internal discussion 
which just started to lead nowhere.

Unfortunately, the world is not ideal place and some people are using 
strange constructions. And sometimes we need to make compromises.
