I would not put too much effort into analysing this.  I made the
original change in
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/3fd2d229 with good
intentions but there were a number of problems with it, the last of
which was discovered just before the release.  We decided that we
would back it out but given how close to release it was we deferred
it.
